URGENT: HELP THE BERMUDEZ FAMILY

Earlier this week, our own suffered a catastrophic loss.
The new President and Secretary of the Mississippi Gulf Coast chapter, a husband and wife team, both serve with the Gulfport Police Department. While they were on duty protecting our community, their home caught fire with their teenage children inside.
By the grace of God, the kids made it out safe. But the family lost everything: their home, personal vehicle, all baby supplies for their newborn, furniture, clothes, and personal belongings.
These two are more than officers. They’re founding members of our new Mississippi Gulf Coast chapter. Before moving south, they were also dedicated members of our Oakland chapter from their time as police officers in California. They’ve spent their lives serving others. Now they need us.

How you can help the Bermudez family right now:
A GoFundMe has been set up to help them rebuild and replace essentials for their 3 teenagers and newborn baby. Every share, prayer, and dollar helps.

Donate here: https://gofund.me/56df6d90a

If you can’t give, please share this post. Let’s show them what family means. We take care of our own.
