Description
It is our honor to introduce former Micro Police Chief, Stacy Lee Brown, as the candidate who will be receiving all proceeds raised by our organization during our Poker Run on August 28th, 2021. Stacy dedicated 17 years to our police forces between Smithfield, Pine Level, and Micro. He has answered the calls of his community time and time again, now it is our turn.
Former Micro Police Chief Stacy Lee Brown was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) in September of 2009. He continued to work until the Summer of 2010. During the pursuit of a robbery suspect, he sustained an injury to his right calf muscle that ultimately left him
unable to walk unassisted.
In the Summer of 2018, Stacy was sent to a local rehabilitation center to receive physical therapy. The day that he arrived at this facility, the heat index was nearly 115°F. Little did he know, the facility’s air conditioning unit was down. Due to having MS, Stacy cannot regulate his body temperature. After mentioning this to a nurse and his dire need of cooler air, he was simply told he would receive a fan the next day. Neglected, Stacy was left unattended with no way to cool down for the next 23 hours. Upon discovery, Stacy had over heated to near heat stroke which led to his entire body stiffening.
Due to this incident at the rehabilitation center, Stacy has been in a rest home for the past three years to receive physical therapy and around the clock 24-hour care. Stacy has steadily been getting stronger but he would like to continue his therapy at home surrounded by the people he loves and who love him.
Stacy cannot leave the rest home and return to his residence until it has been properly outfitted for his current condition. He is currently in need of a ramp, chair lift, and a motorized wheelchair before he can return home.
And that, Neighbors, THAT is our mission. It’s time to give back to someone who has given so many years of his life to serve and protect so many of us. Let’s get Stacy Brown what he needs to get back home!
Neighbors, you know what to do! ??
