Some news hits close to home. This one hits home.
Mike Penney is family to us. He's the son-in-law of our Manager, Jack O'Brien, and a cherished part of the Addieville family.
Mike is 36 years old and has served for more than six and a half years with the Shrewsbury Firefighters Association, Local 4613. He's the kind of person who shows up without being asked. He's the first to help his brother and sister firefighters, the first to help a stranger in need, and the first to be there for the people he loves.
Recently, a sudden and severe illness changed everything. Mike underwent surgery that resulted in the amputation of his leg.
Mike and his wife, Amy, have three children, ages 1, 5, and 7. Together they're facing a long road of rehabilitation and recovery, along with a new normal that none of them saw coming. Through it all, Amy has been by his side, holding their family together.
Mike has spent his life taking care of others. Now it's our turn to take care of him.
Every dollar raised through the PFFM Foundation goes toward supporting Mike and his family through his recovery. If you're able to give, please do. If you can't, sharing this post matters more than you know.
We love you, Mike. We're with you every step of the way. ❤️🚒
