14 employees have been killed while providing services for citizens over the past 20 years. Their modest pay can make a public servant's untimely death especially difficult for their families financially. We can never bring back their loved one. But with your help, we can show those survivors how much we value their loved one’s public service, and we can make that dark time a little less stressful.

Testimonial
“HERO is the best thing they could have done for city employees,” said Lisa Norwood. “When you’re going through something like that, you need someone there to help you. Having that help meant so much to me. I can’t imagine what it would have been like to not have HERO there.” testimonials >>
