Bonneville County 911 Center

Dear 911 CARES Supporters,

We hate to start with sad news but a dispatcher's daughter, who has been ill since the age of 9 passed away last night. Medical costs are covered by insurance but the funeral is not. We at 911 CARES will make a donation to the funeral fund and we ask that you do the same. PLEASE do it quickly so that the family can plan a respectful memorial and know that it is paid for. You can call our office with your VISA, Master Card or American Express card and we will FedEx the check to the family fund. Call us at 800-348-8911 x105

We also encourage cards of condolence be sent to both Rebecca and the Bonneville County 9-1-1 Center, the address is listed below.

Thanks for your quick action – KEVIN and the 911 CARES Family

Dear Kevin,

We would like to tell you about a very special lady in our dispatch center who is need of some assistance. Her name is Rebecca Bluhm. Becky has an incredible daughter named Bridgette. When Bridgette was 9 years old she was diagnosed with brain cancer. She went through surgery and chemotherapy at this very young age, and although developmentally challenged, Bridgette just celebrated her 30th birthday. This milestone is marred by the fact that she now has a rare and untreatable stomach cancer as well as mesotheleoma. There is nothing that can be done for her except to make her as comfortable as possible. She does not have long to live. At this time, Becky has used up all sick time as well as vacation time and even though she is using family medical leave, it is unpaid. All of Bridgette's medical bills are being covered but not the funeral expenses. We are trying to get her as much help as possible, and anything 911 cares could do, would be greatly appreciated.

If you have any questions please feel free to call 208-529-1200. Contact on day shift (0700-1500) will be Sherry Glick, afternoons (1500-2300)  Nancy Manwill and night shift (2300-0700) Cheri Severson or Barbara McCrorey.

Thank you for your consideration.

Sincerely,
The staff of the Bonneville County E-911 Center
