From Al Campbell:

​

Over the last few years I’ve had several medical issues that have unfortunately forced me to “Medically Retire.” Almost my entire adult life I have been able to support myself and my children. When I medically retired, I went on to Social Security Disability. During that transition period I found myself struggling to make ends meet. 

 

I had heard of the Family Benevolent Fund being available to those members who are in dire straits. I had no idea what a resource this “group” could be. I was too proud to ask for help. A board member of the Family Benevolent Fund (FBF) contacted and spoke with me many times regarding how they could help me. He helped me apply so that I might be able to receive some help. 
 

These funds paid my rent for the month and paid the deductible for my prosthetic leg. I’m pretty sure without that money, I would have had to cut down a tree to make a peg leg. 
    

The FBF Board is an awesome group of Deputies, all leaders in their areas. I even learned that the FBF just doesn’t help or assist Deputies. They have the assets and capabilities to help citizens and families that might need it as well. I would encourage anyone reading this testimonial, to make a contribution, help at events, and most importantly SPREAD the word.

Thank you FBF,
Al “Gunny” Campbell
