Assistance for Families of Fallen Heroes
Eligible public safety officers are police officers, firefighters and volunteer firefighters, and publicly-funded paramedics and EMTs who were killed or suffered a fatal medical event in the line of duty in 28 counties in Missouri and Illinois. Families assisted include the hero’s surviving spouse and dependent children.
Our assistance is immediate and ongoing. Upon a line-of-duty death or catastrophic injury, we step up with a payment of assistance and assurance of further help.
Next, we make each surviving spouse debt-free and begin lifelong support. Our assistance for dependent children continues with them until they reach independent adulthood.
