Workman’s Comp Denied Him. We Won’t. Rally for Charlie Pell.
Why We Need You Now Because Charlie serves as a Part-Time member, he does not have employer-sponsored health insurance. To make matters worse, Workman’s Comp dropped his case and denied coverage, classifying his injury as a disability rather than a line-of-duty injury.
In Memory of a Son: Rallying Around Brother Shawn McCullough
We answer the call for strangers every day. Now, we must answer the call for one of our own.
Our brother, classmate, and fellow Philadelphia firefighter, Shawn McCullough, is facing the unimaginable. This past week, Shawn lost his 17-year-old son to a sudden cardiac emergency. No father should have to say goodbye to his child.
As Shawn and his family navigate this heartbreaking grief, the last thing they should worry about is financial stress. We are raising funds to support the McCullough family directly during this time of mourning. Please help us lift this burden off a brother’s shoulders.
Donate today to stand with the McCullough family.
One of Our Own Needs Us: Support CFD Paramedic Randy Campbell

Let's show Randy the full strength of the CFD family and the Chicago community. Thank you for standing by one of Chicago’s own heroes.

Urgent Support Needed for Firefighter Solomon Rynard
Solomon is a fighter. But this is one battle he shouldn't have to fight without his crew. This campaign is our chance to step up and provide the support he and Kinsey desperately need.
Your donation will go directly to covering overwhelming medical bills, offsetting lost income while he is unable to work, and ensuring he has access to the best possible care and rehabilitation. It gives them the breathing room they need to focus on what truly matters: his healing.
Let's show Solomon the same unwavering support he has always shown his community. Let's rally together and help this hero heal.
