The Miami County, Kansas, Sheriff's Fund is seeking the public's generosity to raise money for a disabled Louisburg police officer.

According to a Facebook post, the Louisburg officer recently suffered a serious medical condition that left them unable to work.

"This family’s only sources of income were through the City of Louisburg and federal disability benefits — which has been disrupted due to the government shutdown," the post stated. "This family has dedicated their lives to serving our country and our community. Now, they need our help."

The Miami County Sheriff's Fund was established in 2022 to provide financial assistance to community members, first responders and their families. Additionally, it helps provide financial assistance to first responding agencies to acquire specialized equipment.
