"Tunnel to Towers has pledged the first $100k and is calling on the community as we begin fundraising to pay off the remainder of the Clark family mortgage."
Tunnel to Towers is taking this step because it recognizes that following the loss of a first responder in the line of duty it is vital to provide reassurance to the surviving spouse and children that their home is secure that there will be no need for them to move and leave behind everything that is important to them as they face the future.
Since the inception of its Fallen First Responder Home Program, Tunnel to Towers has provided $7 million in mortgage payments to support the families of first responders who lost their lives in the line of duty. To date, these homes have been paid off everywhere from Ohio to Florida to Iowa to Pennsylvania to Texas.
Your generosity and support enables us to continue to provide the help the families of our veterans and first responders so desperately need.
