We ask that you please help us support our injured brother and ease the finnancial burden that this injury will place on his family. As we get updates on Firefighter Wasson I will update this page so that you all can stay informed.

*Required info about myself*
My name is Colten Harris and I am a firefighter/EMT with the Eureka Springs Fire Department where I work with Rod. I started this campaign shortly after Rod was injured in an attempt to raise as much money as possible for the Wasson family. All funds raised will go directly to the Wasson family to help offset medical costs, travel expenses, food, and whaever other expenses arise from Rod's hospitalization. Once the campaign has run its course I will have the money transferred to the family of Rod Wasson. If you have any other questions about myself or Rod please feel free to contact me through the contact section on here.
