Not all heroes make it home... That tragedy rings true as an average of 21 families watch their First Responder loved one walk out the door, only to never return. The impact of a line-of-duty death (LODD) goes far beyond the badge. Not only does a community & agency lose a hero... a spouse loses their warrior, a child loses their hero, and a family experiences a loss of income. While we can't always prevent LODDs, we can help reduce the financial burden it creates for the families in our country by being a direct source of financial and emotional support. All of this is made possible by the generosity of our donors and our 100% Giving Model – where every single public dollar donated goes to these families.

A bright light in a dark place for the families of fallen First Responders.
About us
The Hard Truth... Each month, an average of 21 First Responders sacrifice all in the line of duty. This leads to a double tragedy as their families are often plunged into financial and emotional hardship, with many relying on bake sales and fundraisers—only to barely keep their heads above water. We’re grateful for the bake sales, but they fall short of the true immediate needs of the families of fallen First Responders. FRBA was created to end the tragedy behind the tragedy. The Bright Light... When a First Responder tragically perishes in the line of duty, FRBA steps in to provide hope-giving financial support to their family. Through your generosity, we’re able to distribute vital funds to their most pressing basic needs. This means a spouse can focus on grieving the loss of their loved one, without the burden of wondering how their bills will get paid, how their kids will be fed, or how their lights will stay on, during the darkest hour. 100% Giving Model... Our founder, First Responder Task Force (www.FRTF.us), funds all of our administrative and overhead expenses - making it possible for 100% of the public donations we receive to go directly to serving the families of fallen First Responders. The average nonprofit spends nearly 66% of public donations on administrative and overhead expenses that include salaries, general expenses, and fundraising costs. This means for every $1.00 donated, only $0.34 is actually given to those you intended to help. With our 100% Giving Model, for every $1.00 donated, a family receives $1.00. That's generosity, done right. Our Goal... By 2025, our goal is to be an immediate source of financial and emotional support to 100% of families impacted by the loss of a First Responder in the line of duty. How You Can Help...

A newly minted police officer drew on his own experiences to save the life of a choking infant in Arkansas. Pottsville police officer Cody Hubbard, 23, recently answered a 911 call for a three-week-old infant who was choking on anti-gas drops. Hubbard hurried to the scene and promptly tapped the baby, who had started “to turn purple,” on the back to save his life. Hubbard said he had experienced the same problem with his own daughter and knew what to do when he saw the baby, whose name is Grady. “Whenever I rolled up on this call, anytime I deal with something that involves a child, I think about how the parents would want me to treat the child as if it was mine,” Officer Cody Hubbard promptly jumped into action to save baby Grady. Following the rescue, which was captured on Hubbard’s bodycam, Hubbard returned to his patrol car and said he burst into tears. He said that “it felt good” that things turned out well. Hubbard is scheduled to receive a life-saving award later this month. . . ❤️ Love content supporting/celebrating First Responders? - Follow us 👉 @FRBAusa - DM us to be featured - Watch our FRBA Original Series by texting Series to 864-400-1582 . . #police #policeofficer #cop #cops #sheriff #deputy #policeman #lawenforcement #firstresponder #emergency #thinblueline #k9 #firstresponders #hero #dispatch #charity #giveback #nonprofit #causes #frba #policedepartment #actofservice #bluelivesmatter #mentalhealthawareness #heroes #actsofservice #goodcop #community #fypシviralシ2024 #fyp #fypviralシ #goodperson #goodcopsstillexist #warm #motivation #PositiveEnergyChallenge #inspiration #mindset #usa #hero

This afternoon, Police Officers in Dix Hills rescued a kitten in the backyard of a Dix Hills residence. The kitten was no more than a couple days old with the umbilical cord still attached and wrapped in grass. They scooped it up and brought it to Town of Huntington Cat shelter to rescue. . .
