Brothers & Sisters,

Can you spare your lunch money for one shift? The reason we ask is, this simple sacrifice could make a huge difference in a sweet young ladie's life. Consider the following: if every one of our fine members were to give $10, the total amount raised could exceed the goal set by Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Torres’ "Go Fund Me" account, and that is something we could all take HUGE pride in. Don’t you agree? Some of us have already donated, which is amazing! Helping each other out during difficult times is what makes our family so strong. So, what is wrong with giving up going out for lunch for one shift? Sounds easy right? If you are able to give, Thank you. However, please don’t feel like you are expected to give exactly $10. Any amount is greatly appreaciated. If you are able to give more, FANTASTIC!!! If you want to read more about this wonderful little girl's story, to really understand what she has endured since birth, her mother has written an amazing bio for Cassie on the fund raiser page, which you can link to above, or go here; Donate lunch money to help Cassie! Cassie and her family are currently supporting her during a prolonged hospital stay in Phoenix, Arizona where a team of pediatric cardiology specialists are performing amazing medical treatments to bring Cassie back home to Albuquerque where she can get right back to being a kid! I encourage you to include a positive message to Cassie when making your lunch money donation on the fund page, I know she would love to read them! Thank you all so very much for your consideration, stay safe out there!

Sincerely,

Friends of Cassie Torres, fellow firefighters
