Thank you, Tyler, that at your young age, you are showing that there is a “better way”. After reading the article yesterday, we went and purchased quite a few items from your list. The Pensacola Police Department welcomed the items! We will be picking up more items before the 7th. I am so very thankful for our First Responders. They put their lives on the line for us every day. Thank you again, Tyler, for bringing this to our attention!! You Rock!!
>> However, supplies were carried to Flomaton Fire Department and they didn’t know anything about the collection. Please verify.
Flomaton Fire Chief just verified that they are a collection point. They said one lady came by and didn’t want to leaver her items because there was no trailer there….they are collecting the items now; they will be picked up by truck and trailer on Sept 7. Please go back, advise them they are “first responder” donations and/or mention Donut Boy.
This is a wonderful idea, however, items were taken to the Flomaton Fire Department and they didn’t know anything about it. Please check this out. Thank you.

Amazing! Glad to see that there are younger people out there who care! There is hope for future generations.
To you Donut Boy,
Thank you for your love of these people in need.
I’m doing my part to help you get some things.
Been through a Hurricane and almost lost our house and the last
Tornado we did lose the house so know what they are feeling.
Would hope that more young people would be like you.
God bless you for all you do.
