Support an Officer in Need
Monday, June 17, 2019
Communities are coming together to show great kindness and support to the family of SUNY Albany University Police Officer Lucas Hoague as they face one of the most difficult times in their lives, a sever illness of their 11 year old son John. John has been diagnosed with a Grade 3 Glioma tumor on his brain stem. We are keeping him in our thoughts and prayers for continued strength and courage to fight this illness.
On Monday, June 10, young John Francis Hoague-Rivette was officially sworn in as 'Captain Francis' at the Washington County Sheriff's Department. The event was attended by John’s family, friends, and teachers as well as many PBA members. Captain Francis inspected patrol cars, visited the jail and the 911 Emergency Center. Thank you to the Sheriff's Department for your kindness and support of this family. Click this link for the Sheriff's Department Facebook piece covering this event and to view additional photos.
We ask that you please join us in helping this family focus on caring for their child by providing some relief for the financial hurdles they are now facing due to the loss of income while mom provides around the clock care and as well to help with the mounting travel expenses incurred for doctors appointments and treatments.
For those who can, please show your support by visiting City Line Bar and Grill on Wednesday, June 26 where a percentage of the proceeds (including take out orders) will be donated to the family.
Those who cannot make it and wish to support in another way may donate funds by clicking the green donate button below to make a tax deductible credit card donation to the PBA of NYS Family Assistance Fund which will give 100% of all donations received directly to Officer Hoague. The FAF will match the first $1,000.
Thank you for your generosity and kindness and THANK YOU to those who have already contributed.
(A receipt for this donation will be emailed to the address provided shortly after the transactions are processed).
