W-A-T-C-H (We Are The Children of Heroes)

W-A-T-C-H (We Are The Children of Heroes) serves the children and families of America’s fallen first responders and military heroes who have died since 9/11.

OUR MISSION
Create a network of hope & empowerment for the children and families of America’s fallen first responder and military heroes.

OUR VISION
Prevent further trauma for families of America's fallen heroes by providing hope, empowerment, and new happy memories for their children. Show them that they are not alone in their grief by connecting them to others just like them, and who are dealing with the same life challenges. Connect them in a safe and comfortable setting, where they can open up, share their feelings, and begin to heal. Create inspirational activities and opportunities for joy, friendship, education, therapy, and communal healing.

WE WILL:

- Provide support and resources to assist the children and families of fallen heroes in rebuilding their lives and finding purpose in life.

- Honor and remember America's fallen heroes and their sacrifices in all we do.

- Change the culture of negativity and hate directed toward America's Law Enforcement Officers……. because they, their children and families deserve better from the public. Especially those who made the ultimate sacrifice while serving the public.

- Work to reduce the number of deaths by suicide of our first responders and military personnel.

- Serve and provide support to those families left behind due to the death of their hero, (all manner of death; including line of duty, killed in action, and suicide).
