EMOTIONAL Home Renovation for Family of 9/11 First Responder | George to the Rescue

- Опубликовано: 28 ноя 2023
- In the Season 14 premiere episode of 'George to the Rescue,' our team surprises the family of Tom Oelkers - a brave FDNY firefighter who spent most of his career at Ladder 44 in the Bronx and passed away from a World Trade Center-related illness - with a well-deserved renovation of their Long Island home.
Meet Erika Oelkers and her three amazing daughters: Camryn, Juliet, and Scarlett. Erika, who herself battled Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma after working in downtown NYC for four years after 9/11, remains the steadfast rock of her family as she helps her children navigate life in the wake of grief, while also lovingly caring for her eldest daughter, Camryn, who was diagnosed with RETT Syndrome and requires one-to-one assistance every second of her day. Despite the hardships she's had to take on, Erika continues to be a force of nature as a mother and a total inspiration in her community, especially when it comes to advocating for causes close to her heart such as Rett Syndrome Research Trust, Tunnel to Towers, and T.O. Family Foundation (the organization she established in memory of her late husband to support first responders and their loved ones).

Way to be George you and your team did it again awesome. 😊
Erica is a hero just like her husband was. I hope she enjoy her new zen spot
Such an incredible human! So grateful to be able to provide her with a tranquil bedroom renovation.
The fact that so many of these hero’s are having to fight to get care and help is absolutely sickening 🤮
You've done it again George!
How could anyone believe those news reports about the air being safe to breathe!!!!!!
The terrorists attacked America in New York, not once, but twice when they took down the Twin Towers…..
But, those Heroes who ran into the buildings and those who were there in the clean up are what this country is all about ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for your service 🙏❤️
Thank you for you sacrifice 🙏❤️
Beautiful and well deserved. Such a wonderful Mom. George is the best❤
Erika is such an incredible human. So glad we were able to provide her with this renovation!
This family is so very deserving of this beautiful makeover
❤❤❤❤❤
Beautiful
In the resurrection, Tom Oelkers will learn what was done for his family, _and for it be happy._
Hope Ms. Oelker and girls are well. --- _Glad for their home's renovation!_
God bless all those who care for the widows.
Resurrection? Dead people don't come back to life dear. lol

The house looks Absolutely beautiful
Truly so serene! Liz did such an amazing job designing a peaceful space for this amazing family.
I feel like I've seen this episode before and that it's not brand new.
Yeah, it's still in my browser history, it's now set to private.. (/watch?v=IEn7sZz9orI) All good with reuploading, but this seems very scummy to put this forward as if it's a new episode, like we don't have memories or anything. I mean, the description isn't wrong, it is the premiere episode of Season 14, but it originally aired April 15th 2023, its like 7 months old. Not sure why they're re-releasing it.
@@Kim-mz8co The original from April 15th of this year got privated, But Google knows when the Oelkers episode was originally broadcast.. (S14E01)
@@bararobberbaron859 Hi all! We re-uploaded it to fix something on the technical side of things. It's the same episode and we are not introducing it as a new episode. If it says new, that is a RUclips label. We have indicated that it's the season premiere of the past season. Hope this helps!
Great job!! I love what y’all do!!
Thank you for your kind words!
@@GeorgeToTheRescue God bless yall!

Agreed. The window seating is the perfect touch!

You're not as funny. This is
not a negative. It is a ring of experience. You've been out there fighting, feeling the pain and the emotion of those men and women who have been struggling and suffering.
How could you just walk away and go back to your old ways? How could you take on their experiences and their heartache and go back to the old john?
I think you have a bigger job to do. I know You hate the idea of getting involved in government but I think it's calling out to you. You know it's true. There's no way you can go back to that comedic self that you were in the past. Fortunately and unfortunately you have a bigger job. Love you sweet man. I'm sorry but you have a great big job to do.
Husband dead from an illness related to 9/11, She gets cancer which possibly related. A daughter with a genetic disorder… Good grief…
Cancer, related to 9/aa
