Hernando County Charities/Donations/Fundraising Requests

Donation Request: Posted 12/12/2004

   My reason for requesting assistance is this. While both Springhill Fire Rescue and Hernando County Fire Rescue are paid departments, the chaplaincy is completely volunteer and non funded. 

   I have to the best of my ability used my own equipment or that of my church but to bring the chaplaincy to the place where it most effectively served our departments as well as our citizens there are some important needs to be met. 

   The nature of the Fire Rescue service is hard on the individuals and their homes. I am presently creating Power point presentations to do in seminar format for such issues as Stress management, finances, marital relationships, parent child relationships etc. But to lug my desk top computer from the church to the different stations as well as taking down our video projector etc is just not practical. 

   What I really need is for a few civic organizations or corporations or professionals to step up and lend a hand. What I am looking to do is to purchase a laptop computer that would be used for both departments, as well as a small video projector the cheaper more portable sort for these and other projects with the departments. 

   Please email if you can help. You can find more on the chaplaincy at www.springhillfire.com/chaplain.

Donation Request: Posted 1/19/2004

     My daughter gave birth to twin boys prematurely on September 26th 2003. Austin and  Brandon Crimean's @ 23-24 weeks gestational age barely viable. They were transported from Spring Hill Regional to All Children's Hospital in St Pete Fl and still remain in the NICU. Birth weight was only 1# 7 and 1#8 they Austin is currently at 4# 4oz and Brandon 3# 14 oz. We have been residing at the Ronald McDonald House East In St Pete.
     My daughter is only 17 and resides at home with me. Since this occurrence I have lost my job, and bills are piling up at my home in Spring hill as well as I was totally unprepared for the twin boys IE: Cribs, Diapers, Clothing (No Nursery items).
     Brandon Michael Crimeans is breathing on his own with only some additional oxygen through a nasal cannula.
     He is maintaining his own temperature and is in very good condition.
     Austin Michael Crimeans is still on Ventilator and has had the misfortune of an left arm amputation due to a blood clot, he however is doing remarkably well.
     The doctors predict a going home date of February/March 2004. Basically a good outcome considering upon arrival September 26th 2003 they had less than a 10% chance of surviving through the night.
     We would appreciate any coverage and assistance our family could get on this.
