Fundraising Efforts for EMSers

Written by AAA Staff on . Posted in Community, Spotlight.

The 9 Line Company (www.the9linecompany.com) has launched a campaign to support EMS professionals who have lost their homes and are facing significant hardships due to the recent fires.

 

As you may know, The 9 Line Company is a training and education organization, working with EMS personnel and first responders nationally and globally. Here at LifeLine EMS, two of our own EMTs have lost everything in the Eaton Fire, and we are aware of others at different companies facing similar devastating circumstances.

 

When we couldn’t find an organized effort to address this specific need, we decided to create one through 9 Line. Through this campaign, any EMS personnel in Southern California who have lost their homes or are experiencing severe challenges can reach out to The 9 Line Company for assistance. Every dollar donated will go directly to helping these EMS heroes rebuild and recover.

 

Two of our EMTs are in this position and it breaks my heart.

Please feel free to share this initiative. Many have asked how they can help, and contributing to this campaign would make a meaningful impact.
