The Brownsville Fire Department is supporting one of their own.
Firefighter Jesse Perez was recently diagnosed with Stage 4 stomach cancer. He’s been with the department for over 29 years.
The fire department says they’re raising funds to help pay for his treatments and travel related expenses, as he is receiving treatment in Houston.
A fundraiser in Perez’s honor is set for Saturday, Oct. 26 at the Brownsville Events Center — located at 1 Event Center, Paredes Line Rd. FM1847 — from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.
