An Appeal for Help

As many of you know, the TrekMedic is,..well,..a paramedic. Today, he received this appeal for help for a fellow ChesCo medic:


April 7, 2008

All Personnel:

We have received information this morning that Paramedic Tim Hornberger of Medic 93 was seriously injured this past weekend while working on a tire. The exact details are coming to us through a third party; however it seems that Tim was inflating a tire that exploded striking him in the face. Tim was flown to Reading Hospital, where he is in a chemically induced coma in the surgical intensive care unit. We are being told that he will be in the hospital at least 1 week and out of work potentially for the next three months.

The Fire and EMS staff here in the City of Coatesville is working on collecting money to put together a nice gift certificate for Tim and his family to help them through this tough time. Our thought was if each of us would donate $10 we can provide a bit of relief to our friend and co-worker. Any and all help would be appreciated.

Please forward any donations you would like to make to the Station 41 EMS Supervisor David Faust. Dave is normally at the station Monday through Friday. He can be reached at (717) 683-5199. We would like to send the gift by April 25.

Thank you for your assistance in this matter.
