A Delaware community is rallying behind a local law enforcement officer who has done so much for so many over the years, but now needs some help himself.
Dozens of friends and family, and even strangers, turned out for volunteer firefighter and police officer Chris Skrobot - a man who has served the community for years with honor, but now faces a battle of his own."It means so much just to see him giving his time with the firehouse and the police department and now that they’re coming back to support him during all of this it’s huge to us," said Chris' wife, Caitlyn.
"It’s hard on the kids, it’s hard on Caitlyn, on his parents, on all of us," said Chris' mother-in-law, Patti Dodd. "We just love him so much, and we just want to see him get healthy again."Chris has had multiple blood transfusions since April, and now needs a bone marrow transplant.Although these donations don’t go directly to him, this drive is a way to say thank you for all the blood he’s been given and to help others in his honor.
