Support Briana Lammy Recover.
Please help us support Curtis Lammy, a dedicated United States Air Force Firefighter, and his wife, Briana. On February 23, 2024, Briana, who serves in the Navy, was involved in a devastating dirt bike accident that left her paralyzed from the T4 vertebra down. After spending nearly two months in the hospital, she was transferred to an inpatient spinal cord injury facility, where she continued her rehabilitation until August 16.
Unfortunately, due to VA policies, Briana does not qualify for certain assistance, even as an Active Duty service member. There are essential items that would greatly improve Briana's quality of life that the VA cannot provide. These include a wheelchair-accessible vehicle, wheelchair accessories like a Firefly attachment, and backup items such as cushions and transfer boards to make her daily life and travels easier.
Any donations, no matter the size, will go directly toward these critical needs. Your support would mean the world to Briana and Curtis as they navigate this challenging time together. Thank you for your kindness!
Support Firefighter Jim Karp In His Recovery.
On September 5th, 2024, Firefighter Jim Karp responded to a structure fire on the north side of Orland. Alongside his crew, Jim worked tirelessly, searching for victims and battling the blaze. A few shifts later, during a routine morning training session, Jim suddenly felt faint. He was in full gear, including an Airpack, when he collapsed from cardiac arrest. His crew acted fast, immediately stripping off his gear and starting CPR. Thanks to their quick actions and multiple cardiac interventions, Jim was revived and rushed to Palos Community Hospital. Doctors found major blockages in his heart, and Jim underwent a successful quadruple bypass surgery. Though his recovery will be long, Jim remains positive and is determined to return to the fire service.
Jim, his wife Melissa, and their son Ian need the support of the community during this challenging time. His father, Larry, a retired Battalion Chief, knows the strength it takes to face these moments. Jim has been serving as a firefighter in Orland since 2012, and now it’s time for us to step up for him.
Help Scotty Fight for His Life: A Brave 14-Year-Old's Battle with Rare Disease.
Scotty is a 14-year-old boy who has been diagnosed with Fanconi Anemia, a rare genetic disease that affects the body's ability to repair damaged DNA. Most people with this condition develop cancer, and by age 40, about 90% will struggle to make blood cells. Many, like Scotty, also deal with other health issues like being shorter than average and having problems with their skin, eyes, ears, and kidneys.
Scotty has a type of Fanconi Anemia that caused his bone marrow to fail, which means his body couldn’t make the blood cells he needed to stay healthy. Thankfully, on July 23rd, 2024, Scotty received a life-saving bone marrow transplant. But this meant he had to stay in the hospital for almost 30 days. Now, as part of his recovery, Scotty and his family have to live in isolation for 80-100 days in Seattle at the Ronald McDonald House. It’s really important that Scotty doesn’t get sick while he heals, so they need to stay close to the hospital.

Support Alyzah Grace And Her Family.
Alyzah Grace Price, a joyful and energetic 2-year-old who brings light into every room, is now facing a challenging battle. The beloved daughter of CJ Price, a dedicated firefighter with the City of Martinsburg Fire Department, and granddaughter of Travis Horne, Operations Chief at Martin State Airport with the Maryland Air National Guard, Alyzah has been diagnosed with a Wilms tumor.
On September 1st, Alyzah was taken to the local ER after her parents noticed a firm area on her stomach, which was soon revealed to be a tumor on her kidney. She was immediately transferred to Children's Hospital in Morgantown, where she underwent surgery on September 3rd. The doctors successfully removed her left kidney along with the tumor, but Alyzah's journey isn't over. She now has a port placed and will begin chemotherapy once her surgical wounds heal.
Tomorrow, Alyzah will celebrate her 3rd birthday in the hospital, a day that should be filled with joy but is instead marked by uncertainty and struggle. Her family faces mounting medical expenses, ongoing treatment costs, and the challenge of traveling two hours each way to Children's Hospital for her care.
As we rally around the Price family during this incredibly difficult time, any support for Alyzah's medical expenses, medications, and the costs associated with her upcoming chemotherapy treatments would be deeply appreciated. We're also asking for your prayers—many prayers for strength, healing, and a miracle of recovery for this little fighter.
Let's come together to lift up Alyzah and her family with the love and support they need. 💜
