Watch as a community in Long Beach, NY bands together to honor the memory of Casey Skudin, a highly decorated FDNY firefighter and Town of Hempstead lifeguard, by helping to renovate the respective bedrooms of his beloved wife Angela and two sons. ππ NYC firefighter, Casey Skudin, was on a trip with his wife Angela and their children, Ben and CJ, to celebrate both Father’s Day and his birthday, when a 2000-lb tree crashed through the roof of their car during a windstorm. While the rest of the family was able to crawl out of the crushed vehicle to safety, Casey was killed instantly.
This ‘George to the Rescue’ episode serves as a testament to the enduring power of unconditional love, the uplifting waves of community support, as well as the promise of new beginnings in the wake of tragedy. Special thanks to all the generous vendors, contracting, and design teams who made this renovation possible for the Skudin family!
