Let’s help if you can.

The Georgia Trooper Chapter of the Police Benevolent Association of Georgia and the Police Benevolent Foundation are asking for your financial support for Sgt. Royce Zah, a Trooper with the Georgia State Patrol, and his wife Brittany. On March 28th, Sgt. Zah and his wife Brittany experienced an unimaginable tragedy—the sudden and heartbreaking loss of their 5-year-old daughter, Navi. What began as an unexpected medical illness progressed, and, despite the heroic efforts of medical professionals at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta, Navi tragically passed away surrounded by her family.

Sgt. Zah is a respected member of the Patrol and a 13-year veteran. His family has always stood as a pillar of strength and service to others. Now, they are facing a loss no parent should ever endure.

Please click on the link below to donate:

100% of the funds received by the PBF will go directly to Royce and Brittany to help ease the burdens of funeral expenses, missed work, and the many unforeseen costs that come with such a heartbreaking loss.
