L.A.F.D. Fire Station 72

Did you know....

Did you know that most of the every day essentials at your local fire stations are funded by the firefighters themselves?

Touching the Lives of Americans ™ has adopted one of our local fire stations, L.A.F.D Station 72 in Canoga Park, California in an effort to educate the community about the needs of our heroes.

These men and women need our help as these firefighters personally pay "out of pocket" for these items, so when Touching the Lives of Americans™ heard of this we knew we had to step in to help our neighborhood heroes.

We are asking for your support to help us help them, the men and women that help keep us safe. We are asking for your support as so we are able to help them with the items they "need" as this is their home away from home.

On October 8, 2024 we, Craig and I {Joy} went on a tour and took notes of the essential items this firehouse is in need of.

We have priced out these items and are now on a big campaign to raise the funds needed to buy these heroes what they need.

Below is the list of items along with the prices.

If you would like to assist with a kind donation or know of a place where we can obtain the needed items please e/mail Joy at the following e/mail address at: rescuemeincorporated@yahoo.com
