How do I donate to this charity? I am a girlfriend of a firefighter, and within their "brotherhood", they make me feel like family (: Sending my love and prayers from Georgia, and God Bless ♥ -Caroline — Asked by down-south-georgia-girl-deactiv

Thanks, Caroline. You can donate online to our charity, the Widows, Orphans & Disabled Firemen’s Fund. All proceeds benefit firefighters and their families in times of crisis.

LAFD fire Boat 2

We’re saddened by the news out of Webster, NY, where four firefighters were shot while responding to a fire. Two of them died as a result.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims’ families and the West Webster Fire Department.

Reason 1: Caring for a widow. Reason 2: Helping a hero. Reason 3: Say thanks. What’s your reason to donate this month? Give online now (and share this with your friends and family).

thedaysofforever: executionrks: Went to Sandy Hook today. One of the kids killed last week wanted to be a firefighter when he grew up, the family thought it would be nice to have some firemen there at the cemetery. 500 showed up. There were also several hundred more showing support outside the church as well. this is why i’m proud to be part of such an amazing brother(sister)hood. Also, the boy’s cousins were FDNY members. The L.A. Times has a story on this.
