If it wasn’t for an off duty firefighter my Dad would not be alive today. My father had a massive heart attack on a golf course and thankfully a off duty firefighter was in the clubhouse. The firefighter was rushed to where my Dad was located and began working. Upon his arrival, My Dad wasn’t breathing and was receiving CPR from my Uncle (His Brother) Tim.  The skill, training and calmness allowed the HERO firefighter to use an AED devise to resuscitate my Dad. From there, my Dad received the very best care from EMS workers, Nurses and Doctors. This event changed my life. Following this event, my Uncle and I were in search of a way to say, “Thank you” to that firefighter and other community heroes. We found Homes for Heroes. Homes for Heroes was a perfect way for us to tangibility help other heroes, just like that firefighter that saved my Dad’s life. Every Hero we honor, takes us back to why we started. I’m forever grateful.
