 People's Bank in Prestonsburg presented over $50,000 to the Floyd County Fallen Heroes Foundation Monday morning. Well, really it was just a partnership with a lot of our community partners and just citizens of Floyd County and surrounding areas. After three officers lost their lives on the line of duty on June 30, People's Bank in Prestonsburg presented a check for $51,330 to the Floyd County Fallen Heroes Foundation. People's Bank Senior Vice President of Sales Casey Laquire comments on the community's efforts. Yeah, we had some, you know, I think the great thing about the contributions of this account was, you know, we had some large donors, folks that gave $5,000, $10,000. But I think the real value in this process was we had a lot of people give $10, $15, $50, $100. And the money keeps coming in. So I think it's just a great example in our community that people come together at the right time to support their neighbors. And we're just, we're happy to be a small part of that. Extraordinary complex minimally invasive cardiac, electrophysiology, interventional and structural heart surgeries. This is a heart and vascular institute at Pikeville Medical Center. When it comes to your heart, place your care in our hands. Till the end of July, People's Bank will continue to accept funds for the families of the Fallen officers and first responders. Floyd County Judge Executive Robbie Williams and Presidents Bergmayer Les Stapleton comment on how this funds will be utilized. I guess in the short term, it's going to cover transportation, food, lodging, things of that nature. We still have individuals who are in the hospital in University of Kentucky. We still have individuals who are receiving medical care. We just had one individual that had to go for another surgery here just a couple of days ago. So we're trying to ensure that these folks don't have to worry about their finances. I mean, it's difficult to ask folks to go out here and do a job that, you know, that sort of thankless and folks really with what's going on in the world today. You know, being a policeman and but it's it's just good to see the community step up and do the right thing and ensure that these folks are taking care of. You know, a lot of people talk about what they got workers comp workers comp pays for medical bills and it pays a percentage of the check. But that's not going to take care of people traveling back for the legs and travel back for the doctor's appointment stuff. That's where the expenses come in. That's where they need the most help and this is going to be very beneficial to them. If you would like to donate, you can make a payment to the Floyd County Fallen Heroes Foundation at People's Bank by August 1st.
