Schweitzer Emergency Fund

On October 29th the Schweitzer family’s life was turned upside down. Jason is a 37 year old Louisville Metro Police detective and was in Lexington at a Fraternal Order of Police (FOP) conference.  When he was standing on the sidewalk asking someone for directions a drunk driver lost control of their vehicle and struck and killed Jason and the man standing next to him. Jason’s wife Jessica is pregnant expecting their second child. Jessica also has a two and a half year old daughter and comforting her when she begs for her “dada” is the hardest thing Jessica will ever do.  The most stressful part for Jessica is worrying about whether they can continue to live in their house, keep their car, and afford every day expenses and school for the future, especially with the new baby. Jason was the rock in this family, never knew a stranger and was well respected by all. One Louisville Council member said of Jason, “you look in the dictionary for the word 'police officer,' it would have his picture there”.  Please contribute and help support his daughter and unborn son in the many, many years to come without their father.
