WFF News: Support for Heather Kantor

Wildland Firefighter Foundation / News

 Heather Kantor was a firefighter on an engine on the TAHOE and now works dispatch on the TAHOE. If you can help spread the word, so we can save her life! She has been approved as a Voluntary Leave Transfer Program recipient and is in need of donated annual leave and support.

From Heather- "I am currently in the hospital with kidney failure due to the fact that my original donor was older and was only ever expected to last 4 to 5 years. It has lasted 6 years, but now it is time for a new one and thankfully, I have multiple potential donors who have volunteered to save my life. I will likely be away from work for a few months dealing with preliminary appointments and testing, having the transplant and then recovering. Any leave donations, however small, would be a huge help in getting through this."

If you are interested in donating annual leave or helping show your support to Heather in other ways, please email info@wffoundation.org or call 208-336-2996.

****REMINDER**** Every fire has the ability to be catastrophic. The wildland fire management environment has profoundly changed. Growing numbers of communities, across the nation, are experiencing longer fire seasons; more frequent, bigger, and more severe, fires are a real threat. Be careful with all campfires and equipment.

"I am a firm believer in the people. If given the truth, they can be depended upon to meet any national crisis. The great point is to bring them the real facts, and beer." --Abraham Lincoln
