Some of our favorite stories:
-
Hope at Christmas
A single mother, and deputy at a local jail, was struggling to figure out how to pay the mortgage, much less provide Christmas for her son. Because of your generosity, we were able to fill in the gap of finances when the child support checks never arrived.
Merry Christmas! Several months mortgage and Christmas presents were all provided!
-
Disney Vacation
Your generosity provided an all inclusive Disney vacation for a local police officer and his family. The family includes a child currently undergoing treatment for a cancer that was attempting to steal his ability to see. We were able to raise funds quickly to send them to SEE Mickey Mouse and friends.
Please continue to pray for the family. As of today cancer has not taken his sight and we are praying that it never will!
-
Specific & Intensive Counseling
Due to the nature of their career, many first responders need specialized counseling and therapy services. Many of which are not covered by basic insurance programs.
Because of your generosity we are able to partner with specialist in the behavioral health industry to provide funds to cover specific and intensive counseling!

Marriage Retreat
We heavily invest in sending couples to marriage retreats designed specifically for first responders and their spouse. With a divorce rate 75%-80% higher than the general population, we are dedicated to helping couples grow together.
By partnering with Windshape Retreats and Serving Marriages we are able to invest in the first responder, their spouse and their family. We believe the best gift we can give kids are parents with a thriving relationship!

Date Night Packages
With a variable schedule, swing shifts and a variety of other scheduling issues that come with a job in public safety, planning a date can prove to be almost impossible.
We help couples get an evening away by providing giftcards for local restaurants and funds for childcare to be distributed through their agency.

Bereavement Meals & Finances
Too often in the public safety community the unthinkable happens. A brother or sister loses their life. For one family the unthinkable happened in a moment, leaving a family to grieve the loss of 2 members. During this time we were able to partner with the local agency to provide homemade meals for the grieving family. We were also able to provide thousands of dollars in cash donations to support the family while other funds were held in litigation.

Product Donation
We work with local agencies and donors to provided food and drink to local prescient and fire stations throughout the year.
We are intentional to supply water, sports drink and vitamin water to keep our first responders hydrated during the hot Georgia summers.
Along with products we include notes of encouragement and ongoing support.
