Their story

Shawn Barry has been a dedicated public service officer for over 25 years. He is a retired law enforcement officer and currently the leader of the sUAS program in the Town of Oak Island, North Carolina, as well as a Steering Committee member with the Law Enforcement Drone Association [LEDA]. 


Shawn has been battling Stage 4 esophageal cancer and we are rallying around him and his wife to support them and help with financial needs. This support will cover medical and practical expenses during their journey. 


Shawn has dedicated his life to serving his community well, and now it's our turn to step up to serve him. Thank you for your donations, prayers and thoughts.

My oldest friend. So sorry to hear about your diagnosis. I will be down this summer to visit you. We spent so many memorable moments together. Hang in there my brother. If anyone can beat this, it will be you.
