We are asking our community to come together in support of retired Air Force Combat Controller Brandon Merriman and his family during an incredibly difficult time.

Brandon was recently involved in a serious accident while in Texas and sustained critical, life-threatening injuries.

He has required intensive medical care, including surgery, and remains under close supervision as doctors continue to evaluate his condition and next steps in treatment.

While there have been encouraging signs, Brandon’s recovery is expected to be long and uncertain.

This fundraiser has been created to support Brandon's family as they navigate the emotional, logistical, and financial challenges that come with a sudden medical crisis of this magnitude.

Funds raised will help offset the many burdens the family is facing, including:

Medical expenses not fully covered by insurance
Meals and household support, allowing the family to rest and focus on healing
Transportation costs related to frequent hospital visits, treatments, and follow-up appointments
General living expenses to assist during this extended season of care

Brandon dedicated his life to service as a Combat Controller. Now, we have the opportunity to stand beside him and his family in their time of need.

Any contribution, large or small, will help ease the immediate pressures on the Merriman family and allow them to focus fully on Brandon’s recovery.

Most importantly, we ask that you keep Brandon and his family in your thoughts and prayers.

First There. Always.
