BROTHER NEEDS YOUR HELP

On Saturday, June 6^th, Brother Tom Michalek was on duty at Bolingbrook Fire Department, Engine 3. It was just another normal shift with his wife, Julie, tending to their two children, an 11 year old boy and an 8 year old girl, running them to their weekend activities. While Julie and the children were out of the house, tragedy struck. A devastating fire broke out causing a total loss of everything they owned. Tom’s fellow brothers from Bolingbrook L-3005 responded swiftly but the damage was already done. Despite the damage, Tom’s co-workers were able to rescue the family pets and a few belongings.

Bolingbrook L-3005 is asking for assistance on behalf of the Michalek family. They are most interested in getting some clothing and toys for the kids, but they will be most grateful for anything and everything.

Checks can be made out to Bolingbrook L-3005 and mailed to:

Michalek Family

P. O. Box 1634

Bolingbrook, IL 60440
