My personal goal is $5,000 but with matching funds my campaign goal is $10,000.

 “Save Chief Mike from the Mermaid” 

Mike, the fearless Fire Chief of El Dorado Hills, has battled countless blazes—but nothing could prepare him for the fire he fought underwater.

It happened during a daring rescue at the shoreline, where a strange “steam fire” was reportedly threatening a beach cave. Mike charged in, hose in hand… only to find the flames were a ruse. That’s when she appeared.

The mermaid was beautiful, with sea-glass eyes and a voice that could melt steel. She sang a hypnotic tune that wrapped around Mike like a net, and before he knew it, he was under her spell—trapped deep in a coral cave, unable to return to shore.

The only way to break the enchantment? He needs your help.

Legend says a generous donation to Hands4Hope – Youth Making a Difference will weaken the mermaid’s magic. Every dollar douses the spell, replacing her siren song with something far less dangerous—like a seagull trying to sing opera.

So please, act now. Save Mike. Fund youth-led service projects. And help bring our brave Fire Chief back to where he belongs—fighting fires on land, not battling curses at sea.
