Ny Police And Fire Widows & Children's Benefit Fund

The mission of the N.Y. Police and Fire Widows' and Children's Benefit Fund (also known as Answer the Call) is to support the families of New York City Police Officers, Firefighters, Port Authority Police, and EMS Personnel who have been killed in the line of duty. When these brave men and women make the ultimate sacrifice to protect our city, we believe it is our civic duty to support the families these heroes have left behind. Our mission is to reassure these families that we will never forget them or the sacrifice made by their loved ones. We provide financial assistance, host special gatherings, and offer a network of support to over 600 families. Our goal is to raise enough funds to assist these families for the rest of their lives.

Broken Wings Ministry

Broken Wings Ministry is dedicated to Tammy's (founder of Broken Wings) brother Jimbo who died on Christmas Eve 2014 from a heroin overdose. He suffered from Opiod / mental health issues. He was a victim of the national opioid crisis in America and did not receive the help he needed. Broken Wings want to restore lives to people who are broken by addiction and mental health / trauma. We offer services in the Orlando area with emphasis on women and children suffering from opiod addiction/ substance abuse and other mental health challenges. Curently we provide services including outpatient office based therapy, animal and garden therapy. Once our residential home is purchased, clients can come and heal in a safe holistic environment (body, mind and spirit). Therapeutic interventions will aim to get at the root cause of addiction/ mental health and seek healing from triggers with effective interventions to avoid relapse. Interventions include: animal therapy, garden therapy, EMDR, talk therapy, group therapy, therapeutic massage, spirituality, develooping life skills, nutrition education and a twelve step program with family involvement. Then, after a client graduates from our program we want to follow them for life. We believe that recovery is a life long process and want to stand by our alumni. Therefore, Broken Wings will offer lifelong alumni outpatient counseling services to clients for support to prevent relapse.

St. Paul & Ramsey County Domestic Abuse Intervention Project (Spip)

The Saint Paul & Ramsey County Domestic Abuse Intervention Project (SPIP) exists to eliminate violence against women and their children, and the social and system responses which condone or allow its oppression. SPIP believes that domestic abuse is a crime and every victim has the right to access the criminal justice system, receive safety through the laws which are designed to protect them and obtain the critical support and services that they and their children deserve. We further believe that regardless of gender, race, socioeconomic background, age, mental and physical ability, sexual orientation, spiritual belief, or partner/marital status, no one has the right to abuse anyone and no one deserves to be abused.
