Honoring the Legacy of David Pollack

We stand together as a community, especially during the most challenging moments life can bring. Now, we mourn the loss of our hero, Wilmington Firefighter Paramedic David Pollack.

David's Story:

David’s life was dedicated to serving and saving others. However, a tragic motorcycle accident cut his journey short. Unfortunately, David succumbed to his injuries. He leaves behind his beloved wife and two young nieces.

A Family in Need:

In this time of immense sorrow, his family faces the emotional devastation of their loss, and also the daunting financial burdens ahead. David's brothers and sisters at the Wilmington Fire Protection District, Coal City Fire Protection District, and Morris Fire Protection and Ambulance District also grieve for their fallen comrade.

Your Support Matters:

You can make a difference. Although no amount of money will bring David back, it can help to ease the financial burden his family will face. By donating today, you honor David's legacy and provide essential support to his grieving family. Every contribution, no matter the size, helps alleviate their financial hardships.

Together, we can ease their burden and show that no hero is ever forgotten.
