Bernie J. Feldmann, Jr. is a retired New York State Trooper who served 28 years in law enforcement. During his career, Bernie was at ground zero after 9/11 and has already battled cancer related to his time there. He also served as Regional Coordinator for the NYSP Employee Assistance Program, supporting state troopers and their families during times of distress.

Recently, Bernie was diagnosed with Stage IV Pancreatic Cancer. He is in need of alternative treatments and therapies, which are not covered under insurance. These new treatments will be completely out of pocket for Bernie and his family, creating a significant financial burden. Your support will help Bernie access the care he needs and ease the stress on his loved ones during this difficult time. 

Bernie has always gone above and beyond for others, and now he needs our help. Any contribution, big or small, will make a difference in his fight against cancer. Please consider supporting Bernie and his family as they navigate this challenging journey. Your generosity and prayers are deeply appreciated.
