There is also support for their heartbroken families. Sammy Selina highlights two nonprofits stepping in to help Sammy Julie. Thousands of dollars have been raised and many of that comes from those organizations dedicated to being there for those families in their time of need. The Front Line Foundation has had to do it before. Unfortunately, my mind was not again and this time they'll help again. My second thought is, did they have Children? You know, were they married, Brent Rollick is the co
founder and co chairman of the Front Line Foundation, which supports First Responders and their families, especially when they are injured or have died on the job. $20,000 is great, but it's not enough. They are giving 20 grand to each of the fallen Burnsville responders families and we just want to be there, you know, financially, but in any way, their loved one should receive those checks in the next few days. So we've paid almost half a million dollars to families since 2018. And while Roli i
s honored to help, he hates why it's needed, but it happens way too often. His foundation assisted White Bear Lake, Officer Ryan Sheikh when he survived. After being shot three times, they also helped ST Paul fire captain Christopher Parsons family. After his line of duty death, we did 50,001 other time that was last April County deputy Josh Owen was killed. The Minnesota 100 club is also stepping up donating $50,000 to each of the three Burnsville families saying they've seen an outpouring of s
upport from people who want to help. First responders answer the phone when we call every single day, they are there when we need them. And in their darkest days, we need to be there for them. They just wish these families didn't have to hurt in the first place. As we have mentioned before, there have been fundraising scams related to this tragedy. These nonprofits say it is so important to donate to reputable sources and verified fundraisers if you'd like to help Randy. All right. Thank you, Sa
