La Pine Firefighters Set Up Go Fund Me For Little Girl

lapinefire-3

La Pine Professional Firefighter’s Union Local 3387 is reaching out to the Central Oregon Community in support of a local family and their 2-year-old child.

“Braelynn Rochlin is a vibrant little girl that is suffering from debilitating seizures, which have necessitated her being transported to the hospital and flown to Portland, multiple times. Just one flight to Portland can often be a life altering event for a family that can result in a large financial burden,” according to a release.

“Braelynn has been flown to Portland 5 times in the last 8 months! Needless to say, the medical bills have become insurmountable without help. While Braelynn’s parents continue to work tirelessly with her doctors to find a treatment that helps, the La Pine Professional Firefighter’s Union has supported Braelynn and her family by connecting the family with the Family Advocacy Network (FAN) and The Giving Plate, gifted the family a FireMed membership (air and ground) and we are currently pursuing sponsorship for Braelynn with the Sparrow Club.

The Union has also assisted the family in starting a GoFundMe Page. Our goal is to support this local Central Oregon family in any way we can as they weather this unimaginably difficult time. We are humbly asking you, if you are able, to assist them in any way you can too. Thoughts, prayers, donations and/or sharing Braelynn’s story are all welcome and much appreciated.”
