Going the Extra Mile: A Kid's Sanctuary for Christmas

Palm Beach County, Florida
December 22nd , 2006

The Customer Service Team would like to take the time to recognize crews from Station 28 for their support given to the Kid Sanctuary, a local foster home in their zone. Personnel from station 28 including members of the customer service commitee have really taken it upon themselves to give unconditionally, time and time again. If you have not read the previous postings, the Kid Sanctuary is a place that takes in children, no questions asked. They emotionally and physically support these children until they can locate another home for them. The ages of the children range from newborns to young teenagers, some with special needs. Batallion Chief Nigel Baker, District Chief Howes, Rescue Captain John Vanek, Lt. Springthorpe, Driver Operator Karl Largen, P/M Bertleson, and a member of the Customer Service Team brought gifts to the children to be open Christmas morning. They also spent time there visiting with the children and giving them some well needed attention. The volunteers there take very good care of the children and lessen the impact of there individual situations. The volunteers are very grateful for Station 28's support and can not thank them enough. Keep up the good work!
