Please help us lift this financial burden off their shoulders so they can survive this loss. Every dollar counts.

Why We Need Your Help Because of the nature of his passing, Blaine’s family likely will not receive Line of Duty Death (LODD) benefits. This leaves a massive financial gap for a young mother and two children who just lost their provider and hero.

How You Can Help Every dollar raised goes directly to Blaine’s wife and children to help with funeral costs and daily living expenses as they navigate this tragedy. Please donate today and stand with the Fritzman family.
