DSF Gives Out Five New Grants

DSF Gives Out Five New Grants

Our work continues! While the circumstances are difficult, we’re fortunate to have been able to provide the following five recent grants:

$6,000 total ($2,000/ea) to the families of three local guards at US Embassy Bamako (Mali), two of whom were killed, and 1 wounded, in a terrorist attack on a Malian military base they had been temporarily deployed to from the embassy.?

$4,000 to a DS Special Agent and his wife to help with uninsured medical costs associated with the treatment of their 18-month-old daughter who has a rare form of cancer.

$5,000 to a DS Special Agent (now retired) to help with uninsured medical and funeral costs for his wife who recently passed away from cancer.

$4,000 to a senior NCO of the US Embassy Baghdad (Iraq) SECFOR (security force) company (a US Army unit on the embassy compound and Embassy Airport compound providing additional protection and assets), to assist with funeral costs for his father-in-law, and for his daughter who was killed a few days later by a drunk driver.? His daughter was 22 years old, married with two children.

$2,500 to the family of a local guard at US Embassy Accra (Ghana), who was killed in a motor vehicle accident on his way to work. He leaves behind 3 children.

As always, we are extremely thankful for our donors and supporters, who allow us to help those in the DS family during their times of need.
