Requesting Assistance

A Clear Path From Request to Support.

Asking for help should not feel confusing or overwhelming. Our process is designed to gather the information we need, review each situation responsibly, and determine how the Foundation can best respond.

01

Submit a Request

A first responder, family member, agency representative, or community contact submits an assistance request with the basic details of the situation.

  • Contact and beneficiary information
  • Description of the circumstances
  • Supporting photos or documentation
02
Step Two

Foundation Review

The Foundation reviews the request, verifies relevant details, and determines whether the situation aligns with our mission and available resources.

  • Eligibility and mission review
  • Agency or family verification
  • Follow-up for missing information
03
Step Three

Support Begins

Once approved, the Foundation coordinates the most appropriate response, which may include direct assistance, a public campaign, community fundraising, or other support.

  • Assistance plan is established
  • Campaign materials are prepared
  • Funds and community support are mobilized
