C.O.P.S. was there for me and my 5 children from the very first few days after my husband was killed in the line of duty. They were my lifeline. We didn't feel different because someone had already walked in our shoes and was there to support us the whole journey. They showed us that we could laugh, cry and smile again as we picked the pieces of our shattered lives up and moved forward. Thank you so much C.O.P.S.!!!!

As caregivers, we very rarely think of ourselves, but the fact that the Semper Fi Fund thinks not only of the veterans but their caregivers as well, it’s just really heartwarming. It makes us feel appreciated, and it ends up helping us better care for our spouses.

I LOVED that all of the kids had experienced the same loss of a parent through their service to their community as a firefighter. Meeting other children of firefighters really made my daughter feel as if someone finally understood her new reality.
