Dear Friends and Neighbors,

We are reaching out during an incredibly challenging time for our community hero, Tempe firefighter John Garza, and his family. In January, John—who has served the Tempe Fire Medical Rescue Department with dedication since 2005–was diagnosed with a rare occupational brain tumor. At 52, John has always been there to protect and serve, and now he needs our support more than ever.

Adding to the family’s burden, just days after receiving this life-altering news, John’s wife Liana was notified that she would be laid off from her 27+ year career at Microchip. Together with their children, son Johnny and daughter Maya, the Garza family is facing an uphill battle—emotionally, physically, and financially.

We invite you to join us in a special fundraiser to rally around the Garza family. Your generous support—whether through donations, sharing this message, or simply sending words of encouragement—will help ease their financial stress and remind them that they are not alone during this unimaginable time.

Please stand with John, Liana, Johnny, and Maya as they navigate this difficult journey. Every contribution counts and shows that our community cares deeply.

With heartfelt gratitude and hope,
