First responders are trained to run
toward the things most of us run away from.
They see things they shouldn't have to see. They carry experiences home that can be difficult to explain, and often their spouses and families are left trying to understand how to help the person they love.
Code Forty4 Foundation exists to change that.
We believe support shouldn't begin when someone reaches a breaking point.
It should begin long before.
Your donation helps us build that support system.
Your donation helps us educate, equip and support first responders and the people who love them by giving families practical tools to recognize when something isn't right, start difficult conversations, respond after critical incidents and connect with trusted resources when additional help is needed.
Your donation helps us:
We don't want families searching for answers in the middle of a crisis.
We want them to already know what to look for.
We want them to know what to say, who to call and most importantly,
we want them to know they are not navigating this alone.
Whether you give $25, $100, $500 or choose to become an ongoing supporter,
you are helping Code Forty4 Foundation continue a simple but important mission:
Recognize. Respond. Support.
Because sometimes the person who needs help isn't the one who knows how to ask for it.
And sometimes the person standing beside them can make all the difference.
Help us support those who serve and the families standing beside them.
