Request for cards, letters and financial support for a Kansas Dispatcher.
Do what you can to help a fellow dispatcher.

Melanie Hasselman is a Shawnee County dispatcher, answering 911 calls every day, now she's calling on the community.

Her husband Greg was born with a severe heart defect, and his failing heart has taken it's toll on the rest of his body. Doctors say only a rare procedure will save Greg's life -- a new heart and a new liver, from the same donor at the same time.

The couple's insurance company may only cover a Single organ transplant, and even if they do agree to both organs, the couple still needs to raise about $100 thousand for out of pocket costs. They say it's a small price for Greg's life.??
