Thank you😊
Clackamas County Paramedic, Cole Theanders, has selflessly served our community for 35 years. Last year, Cole was diagnosed with terminal cancer and is now in need of our support. Let's come together to help him cover his medical bills and show our appreciation for his dedication and service!
