I'm a retired Battalion Chief from the Midland Fire Dept with 26 years of service. I have also been a part-time ER Nurse for the past 19 years on my days off from the Fire Dept. I love helping people, especially ones with great needs. This will be my first trip to Israel, I'm very excited about having the opportunity to help the people of Israel. I've helped locally in the US with Hurricane Ike and Hurricane Sandy. This will be my first opportunity outside the United States.
