Fundraiser for Clay Barnett

This fundraiser is for retired NYPD Detective Clayton Barnett. Shortly after Clay retired in 2021, after 25 years of service, he was diagnosed with cancer related to his work at Ground Zero following the 9/11 attacks. Since then, Clay has undergone three surgeries, rounds of chemotherapy, and various other therapies to keep the cancer under control. As of today, Clay is still fighting hard to beat this.

Clay joined the NYPD in 1996 and was assigned to the 83rd Precinct. He also served in PBBN Anti-Crime before moving on to the 79th Precinct Detective Squad, where he was promoted to Detective. Clay finished his last six years with the Force Investigation Division where he retired in 2021 as a First Grade Detective. He was diagnosed with cancer that same year.

Clay has a beautiful family who has been with him through these difficult times - his wife, Keisha, his two children, and nieces and nephews.

Clay's battle has come with many unforeseen expenses. From treatments that are not covered by insurance, to other costs related to medications, travel, etc. We are asking that you can find it in your heart to make a donation to help offset these expenses and ease these burdens so that Clay and his family can focus only on beating this cancer. I know that it is the holiday season and finances may be tight, but absolutely any amount would be helpful. Clay gave 25 years of his life to the NYPD and the people of New York City; the city is a better place because of him. Anything at all will go a long way to showing that his friends and colleagues will not let him fight alone.

100% of the donations will go directly to Clay and his family. Thank you everyone and God Bless.
