Support for FF Doug McGehee and family
A 501(c)(3) Tax-Deductible Campaign
Bahama, NC - For 45 years, Doug McGehee has served his community with multiple fire departments dedicating his life to protecting others. In March 2024, Doug suffered a massive heart attack requiring triple bypass surgery. He was later diagnosed with stage 4 non-alcoholic fatty liver cirrhosis and an inoperable 9 mm brain aneurysm. In August 2026, he suffered a stroke at the fire department, and doctors discovered a severe blockage in one of his carotid arteries.
Doug underwent surgery to address the blockage but suffered another stroke during the procedure, leaving him with ongoing weakness. During that hospital stay, doctors also discovered a brain tumor that nearly doubled in size within seven weeks. Despite his serious medical conditions, Doug has continued working while dealing with headaches, weakness, and exhaustion because he worries about supporting his family. Without paid sick leave, the prospect of surgery and recovery has created significant financial strain. Let’s get Doug and his family the support they deserve in order to press onward.
