FIRST BORN News:

The First Born Program of Los Alamos expresses its gratitude to the Los Alamos County Fire Department (LAFD) for its “incredible generosity”.

In December, LAFD adopted two First Born Families for the Holidays. They purchased gifts for every family member. Not only that, they drove the fire trucks to the families’ homes to deliver the gifts. The young children (and their parents) were delighted to see the vehicles and the firefighters and even more surprised to see all the gifts they brought.

“My toddler was so thrilled to see the fire trucks and even more excited when he opened his new scooter!,” one of the moms said.

Another parent shared, “Without these gifts, Christmas would have been kind of sad. The firefighters even stayed for a while and visited with our family. We felt so supported by the Fire Department and the community.”

“Again, on behalf of the First Born families, many thanks to the Los Alamos Fire Department for their bighearted donations through the Adopt A Family program.” –First Born Program of Los Alamos
