ff4h testimonial tyler

Over the last 5 years, our son Tyler has had more than 100 surgeries and procedures. We are so thankful for the energy and generosity of Jake and Firefighters For Healing. They have brought Tyler toys in the hospital to help as a distraction, invited our family to Camp RED, allowed the use of the apartmentments on multiple occasions, and provided meals and gas. This has lifted the financial strain on our family and inspired Tyler to stay positive. Thank you!

Our daughter lived 2,000 miles from home in Duluth. When she was injured, she was flown to the level 1 trauma center at Hennepin Healthcare in Minneapolis. We did not have a support network there until Jake and Firefighters For Healing offered us a stable home and unwavering support. They really provided unconditional love to hold us up in our time of need.
