UNITED WE RESCUE

United We Rescue is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting first responders, military service members, veterans, and their families as they heal from the invisible injuries caused by service.
Every day, these heroes face repeated exposure to trauma — critical incidents, violence, loss of life, high-stress decision making, and emotional exhaustion. Over time, this can lead to PTSD, anxiety, depression, sleep disorders, substance misuse, and emotional burnout. When the shift ends or the uniform comes off, the trauma often remains.
United We Rescue exists to ensure that no hero has to face those struggles alone.
We provide peer support, mental health resource navigation, and financial assistance so that access to care is never determined by cost. Our support helps remove barriers to treatment by funding therapies not always covered by insurance, assisting with living expenses while individuals are in care, and walking alongside heroes as they navigate recovery.
In 2025, United We Rescue provided direct, life-changing support to our hero community, including:
• 41 individual peer support contacts
• 2 agency debriefings (in-person and virtual) following critical incidents
• $7,500 toward life-saving ketamine therapy for treatment-resistant PTSD
• $1,150 covering therapy sessions and insurance co-payments
• $1,956 in living-expense assistance so heroes could focus on healing
Through compassion, connection, and action, United We Rescue helps heroes stabilize, access care, and begin the journey toward long-term healing — strengthening not only the individual, but their families and the communities they serve.
Because those who protect us without hesitation deserve support when they need it most.
