A fundraiser has been created to provide financial assistance for the family of Lisa Sillins, a beloved paramedic and original team member of Ambulnz in Upstate New York. Lisa tragically lost her life in an accident with a drunk driver after coming off duty from work.

Brigitte Fowler has organized the fundraiser on Fundthefirst.com, in memory of her close friend, Lisa.

“Lisa was a daughter, mother, best friend and paramedic,” said Fowler. “She excelled in all and was a shining light for her teammates, patients and the community she faithfully served. She made a positive impact on all those around her and will be greatly missed.”

Lisa worked in the local EMS industry for more than 20 years and was devoted to her work and to those she worked with. Funds raised will help support her family, including her mother, brothers, sister and extended family.

“Please donate what you can,” said Fowler. “Anything helps. I appreciate you all. Thank you in advance."
