Announcements:
Jaime Saldivar
Retired Ofc. Jaime Saldivar #1805 is currently undergoing cancer treatment.
Nicole Decker from the POA front office sent out an appeal for DoorDash gift cards to help the family in ordering his meals.
I set up a DoorDash donation account to facilitate the collection and delivery to Jaime’s wife, Toni.
The delivery date is scheduled for September 1st.
Thank you Nicole for reaching out.

Nicole Decker:
Hi everyone,
I’m expanding our circle of support a bit.
Jaime has just one more round of chemo to, but the treatments have really taken a toll on him, his wife Toni, and their whole family.
They have been using DoorDash gift cards to buy food specifically for Jaime; his appetite has been hit-or-miss and having that
flexibility has truly been a blessing for them.
They’ve humbly asked again for help with the DoorDash gift cards, as it lifts a real burden.
They completely understand if resources are limited.
Thank you and have a great week!
Update on Don Hale from Gloria Hale:Sadly, Don’s illness now requires more intensive care than we are able to provide in our home environment.
