DCMF and SBSO were at Loma Linda tonight, not a ton of pictures but every single kid on the pediatric cancer unit was blessed with their hearts desire. (iPhones, MAC computer and switches were a few of the favorites) We had kids (and parents) that cried tears of joy, JOY when battling something so horrible! Thank you SBSO, LLUCH, our DCMF volunteers and donors for your support, YOU ARE MAKING A DIFFERENCE in the lives of these kids with kindness!

Mary Parks THANK YOU for coming out and telling our DCMF story!

DCMF went out to Loma last night. We brought lots of smiles and with love with our visit! Kids squealed with delight and some where moved to tears but most of all for a brief moment the kids were not thinking about how bad they felt in the hospital.

Thank you to all our donors and partners who make these events possible.

Thank you Riverside Sheriff Department Chief Deputy Evans, Deputy Ryan Huizinga and San Bernardino County Sheriff Department Deputy Kennedy for helping with the visit. These kiddos really do love seeing uniformed deputies!

Also in attendance Shawn Roxby Sorensen Exit Realty, TL from Best Buy, Shelly Gagnet from Crown Elway Toyota. Corky Bell, Theron and Bonnie Kowalczyke Reed, Jerry and Crystal Schatz, Jeff Weaver and Kylleen Kylleen Wallace Coogan

Wonderful KESQ story on JJ.. http://www.kesq.com/news/sheriffs-department-hosts-kid-cop/319800756

Javier Jacob Luna III, an 11-year-old from Palm Springs, was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia on July 18, 2016. After being placed in isolation through Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas to undergo four rounds of chemotherapy, he is now showing no evidence of disease. He's always wanted to…

DCMF was honored to be a part of "Deputy for the Day" for Javier JJ Luna. JJ is battling leukemia. We met JJ at Loma Linda during the
"Cops fly in Event". After the event technically, while we visited many children that day after we left we received a call. There was a boy who missed the deputies visit (he was in a procedure). This sweet boy was crying holding a patch wanting to meet deputies.

That is JJ's dream to meet and become a policeman when he gets old enough. After hearing that JJ was upset RSO deputies returned to the hospital to meet JJ. During the visit the RSO deputies assured JJ when he was out of the hospital they would take him on a tour and let him see the inter working of the Riverside County Sheriff's Department. He was so excited and said "Do you promise? Cops don't lie.." Every deputy assured him he could come, to continue to fight his cancer and they would see him at the station soon.

RSO did not disappoint, they held wonderful demonstrations. JJ later said his favorite part was the mock arrest with the gang team , sitting on the police motorcycle learning about what the traffic team does and taking a tour but really could not choose a favorite. JJ asked tons of questions and at the end of the day thanked every deputy he saw for their service. He will be welcomed at RSO when he is ready to pursue his dream and join the department, Thank you Sheriff Stan Sniff, Palm Desert Station Commander T***s, Chief Raya and every member of the Riverside County Sheriff's Department that helped make this little boy's day! JJ smiled so brightly, we are sure he out shined the sun!

JJ's mock arrest video and various photos of the day.

Watch KESQ and KMIR tonight for more of JJ's story.

Board President Theron Reed and Director Kylleen Coogan accepted on behalf of the Debbie Chisholm Memorial Foundation 17,752.87 dollars from San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department Basic Academy Class 203 at their graduation ceremony last night.. Through tireless fundraising over 20+ weeks in the basic academy these new deputies/police officers were able to present DCMF our largest one time donation in our 24 year history.

This fundraising effort by class 203 will help many critically ill children of the Inland Empire. We can never express our gratitude for all of your hard work on DCMF's behalf during your grueling academy period. Well done class 203, congratulations on your graduation and we look forward to having you in our team!
