Hello,

My name is Kevin Minus. I started this gofundme campaign to show solidarity and support for Stephen Mader,  a former West Virginia officer who was fired after attempting to use peaceful deescalation techniques to resolve an altercation. More information can be found in the articles below:

I believe it is important for us to uplift our men and women of the law who do morally righteous and selfless actions in the face of danger.  I believe we should show our apperication of his action by supporting him in a trying time.  

I do not represent any organization nor any political party. I will not keep any of the money and everything will be delievered to Mader at the conclusion of the campaign.

Thanks,

Kevin
