Nashville Firefighters fundraiser
Hello Brothers and Sisters of AFR,
I am sending this email to ask for your help. Some of our brothers and sisters
in the Nashville Fire Department have been greatly affected by the recent
flooding. In fact, some of them have lost EVERYTHING. I've also been informed
that most of them did NOT have flood insurance. They desperately need our help
so I am organizing a fund raiser on there behalf.
I have been in contact via email with Mark Young of the NFD local 140. He is
heading the efforts to provide for these fire department family members. He let
me know that they would be very grateful for any help we could provide. Monetary
donations will be easiest but I have asked him to provide specific needs of
these firefighters if and when possible.
I am asking all station officers to show this email to your crews on all shifts
and collect what you can. I am also asking for help from our surrounding
departments, so if you know anyone working for other departments, please share
this email with them. I have sent this email to friends with Dekalb, Forsyth Co.
and Roswell. Please help me get the word out. Our extended family needs help and
we know they would do the same for us. I will include all of my contact info for
anyone who needs further information. I will resend this email on Monday. I will
be collecting all raised funds on Monday May 17th and hopefully by the end of
that week for all other departments who can help. These funds will be hand
delivered by me to Mr. Young shortly there after.
For those who are collecting from other departments. Please call me at
770-714-2505 and let me know how to meet with you for your contributions. Thank
you.
Let's show our brothers and sisters at NFD what "family" means to the metro
Atlanta firefighters. Thank you for your generosity everyone!
