Firefighters rally around Tosa responder as her son battles rare illness

Alison Campbell returned to work this week at the Wauwatosa Fire Department.
Over the past month, the 19-year firefighter and paramedic has been driving back and forth to UW-Oshkosh to help her son, Jayden, who contracted a rare form of E. coli.
The signs started when Jayden started reporting that he had stomach issues. When Alison finally took him to the doctor's office, they told her to take him to the hospital.
"He lost 22 pounds over the course of a couple of weeks; he couldn't keep any food down," said Campbell.
While Alison was attending to Jayden, Wauwatosa firefighters, and the community were stepping up to help her.
"We made sure that her upcoming shifts were covered the first week," said Jeff Dethloff, president of Wauwatosa Firefighters Local 1923. "We also started a GoFundMe page."
TMJ4 spotted the GoFundMe, which is now over $8,000. The funds will help the family deal with medical expenses and treatment.
"They brought me gas cards so I could drive him back and forth to school," said Campbell. "They sent cookie grams. I had other fire departments calling me and sending me money-just anything that I needed."
