Finally got some donations

After over 3 years of asking for donations, I have stopped asking. I just save money and buy equipment. When I lef the Philippines I donated what little I had to people who had less. Now, I do not have anything. Literally, I have absolutely nothing. I went to a local fire supply store today to buy a pair of boots so I can start to get more gear for when I go back to the Philippines and the store said they would donate some items. They gave me a massive discount on boots and then they donated 2 additional pairs of boots. They also donated a helmet, bunker pants, and some station wear items. I have already put all the items in a box to ship to the Philippines and will ship out the box within the week. I am happy to get a donation, it certainly makes the day better.

I bought a set of Globe PPE on Ebay last night and when it arrives I will also ship that overseas or I will take that with me when I go.

The last items that were donated was a ton of medical supplies and they were used up quite fast. Now that we will have a set of PPE and an additional pair of bunker pants, some of my firefighters will be more protected. 2 pairs of boots, a old non compliant NFPA helmet, and a pair of bunker pants will make the difference between not being protected and being protected. I am thankful for kind people in this world.

Instead of saying "I wish I could help", I just do it and do did my local supply company. Every little bit helps.

Maraming salamat sa Anclote Fire and Safety.

Ingat,

Jason
