Buffalo TSA And Air Traffic Control Workers
Donation protected
Update:
So the shut down is over and I want to provide an update. The TSA supervisor advises that they cannot receive cash and he requested we provide gift cards. I dropped off $860 in gift cards Saturday morning to Dave (TSA supervisor). He will distribute to the individual agents as needed. I also provided lunch for 90 agents last week, but this was not from the gofundme account. Since the shut down is over, I will be haunting the gofundme account. Please do not contribute anymore. Thanks!!
Today marks day 28 of the government shut down and as I sit here at the buffalo airport this morning I find it heartbreaking to see all these TSA workers knowing they haven’t had a paycheck in a month. Each of the federal workers not being paid is directly and negatively affected by not receiving a paycheck this month. To some, it may mean they need to tighten their budget and limit their activities. For others, the impact is far worse. Many people live paycheck to paycheck, missing just one could mean they can’t pay their mortgage, bills, credit cards, student loans or even buy groceries for their family’s.
They keep us safe in the airways and byways. Many of them are struggling right now with the government shutdown, so I think it’s important to show some kindness and appreciation to them for their service and continuing to keep us safe! It is my hope that this go fund me will assist those who are hurting by taking a little weight off of their shoulders during this time.
