Local 3412's Golf Scramble helps firefighter's family

ANDERSON TOWNSHIP, HAMILTON COUNTY, OH - Support came to one Anderson Township firefighter on Wednesday, September 14th, thanks to the Local 3412 Fire in the Hole Golf Scramble. Anderson Township Firefighter Jeff Ridge and his family are in the midst of a financial and emotional battle with autism. Their 6 year old son Cameron was diagnosed with the disorder three years ago. Now they’re struggling to afford his treatment. 

“Cameron has done very well with treatment, socially and verbally. But lately we haven’t been able to afford all of his treatments and we’ve seen him regress,” says Cameron’s mom, Colette. “We want to get him back on that path to success.” 

For the past three years the Ridge’s have helped raise money for other autistic children in greater Cincinnati and northern Kentucky through Generation Rescue, an organization dedicated to the recovery of children with autism.
