The New York Police and Fire Widows’ and Children’s Benefit Fund provides assistance to the families of New York City police officers, firefighters, Port Authority Police and EMS personnel who have been killed in the line of duty.
Since its inception in 1985 by Daniel J. “Rusty” Staub, the charity has distributed over $126 million to over 600 families.
The fund gives financial assistance to grieving families immediately after they lose their loved one and provides an ongoing network of support and special events for these families to cope and connect after such tragedy.
The goal is to raise enough funds to provide meaningful annual distributions to beneficiaries for the remainder of their lives. Please visit www.answerthecall.org.
