Porter Firefighter In Need


Lieutenant Larry Weaver (of Porter Fire Department) son Brandon is 11, he is in the hospital and needs a heart/lung transplant, and has been in the hospital for several weeks. Our fire fighters have been teaming up to take over shifts to help cover Larry's shift so that he not only has funds but keeps his insurance without having to take a leave of absence. All three of "my Chiefs'" went up there a week ago to check on how things were going and Larry has been at the hospital day in day out. Anyhow, his house was purchased as a shell home and basically has not had any work done and has gotten worse as times as gone along, time and money have been spent on the child and his medical expenses. The fire men have been working on his house and repairing it or building it so to speak. The family is in need of everything from furniture, dishes, bedding, towels, money, etc. To the best of my knowledge Chief Teverbaugh has been the person most involved in a large portion of the remodeling. If you can pass this along, or if you have any furniture, or anything that you can donate, we will pick it up from wherever need be. We need everything fixtures, dishes, you name it and if you would like to help please let us know. Diann Wilck Office Administrator281-354-6666 Office281-354-2043 Faxdwilck@porterfire.com
