- EMTs and paramedicsThe medical first responders who are first on scene.
- Families and communitiesThe people who stand behind every responder.
Why was Help a Hero built?
When tragedy strikes, setting up fundraising needs to be simple and quick.
We built Help a Hero because we think the heroes in our communities deserve better.
Help A Hero was born out of necessity. Too often, first responder work is dangerous. In working with law enforcement groups, our developers came up with a hyper secure online fundraising platform deployable within hours. Over time, knowing every minute counts during crisis, we developed this self service product to respond even faster to critical fundraising needs.
