Redwood City, CA Annette Brittain Dispatcher Brittain with the Hemphill County, Texas that is having a very difficult time. Her husband is disabled and is practically an invalid. Medically, he is getting worse and having a very bad time. He has kidney cancer, and on November 28 he had the the lower parts of his lung removed to try to stop them from collapsing. Mr. Brittain is in a wheel chair and on oxygen 100% of the time. Our dispatcher also has a 21 year old special needs son that lives with her and depends on her for every thing. She also is raising a 10 year old grandson without any help. Mr. Brittain does try to take care of these two when he isn't in the hospital but he is currently unable to do so. Mrs. Brittain has thyroid problem, high blood pressure and cannot take care of herself because of the demands on her time and lack of financial resources. She is a great 911 operator and dispatcher but all is taking a toll on her. She needs all types of help and prayers. We are a very small department and are helping her as much as we are capable. Note from 911 CARES: Let's reach in our pockets and see how we can help this family. Maybe get something that a 10 year old would love for Christmas or gift cards for the family. Please contact Donna Dickey as she has agreed to be the contact person for this activation. Donna Kay Dickey Lead Dispatch
