Shelley Westbrook has been a Garland 911 Dispatcher for the past thirteen years.  Her only child Cameron, 16yrs old, recently became ill from a viral infection that attacked his heart and caused it to enlarge and not function properly. The damage caused by the infection is irreversible and he can only be healed by receiving a heart transplant.  His condition is so dire that it keeps him from going home until a donor is available.  Therefore, he remains hospitalized in ICU at Children's Medical Center until the transplant occurs.  The desperate urgency of this situation is such that his name was placed at the very top of the transplant list for the entire northern section of Texas. Shelley has nearly exhausted all leave available to her and is trying to work an alternate shift in order to receive a paycheck. His health insurance will soon cap out as well. Donation containers have been placed in each break room in the police department and in the Patrol room in hopes of others being generous enough to help ease the financial burden placed upon Shelley during this time of need.

The account is at Texans Credit Union in the name of Shelley or Cameron Westbrook.  You can send the checks to Kristi Orman, and also use her as a contact person.
