Fiancés are the forgotten family of our fallen first responders and military members.
The need
Benefits follow a
marriage certificate.
Grief doesn't.
When a first responder or service member is killed in the line of duty, the survivor pension, the line-of-duty benefit and the life insurance payout all go to a legal next of kin. A fiancé isn't one. Neither is the folded flag.
Quite often they are left to carry on without the security of life insurance or family support systems — sharing every part of the loss, and none of the standing that comes with it. The wedding was planned. The paperwork simply never caught up.
Where your gift goes
Four things that
can't wait
Your gift goes directly to the practical costs that land on a fiancé in the weeks and months after a line-of-duty death — the ones no policy is going to cover for them.
Food
Groceries through the stretch when nothing else in life is working yet.
Housing
Rent and mortgage help, so a home isn't lost on top of a partner.
Final Expenses
Funeral, burial and estate costs that fall outside any survivor benefit.
Education
Tuition and training, so the future they planned together isn't over too.
Everyone gets home.
When they don't, someone is left behind.

Who we are
A fund with
a firehouse
behind it
Fallen Fiancé is a giving program of HFT Fire & Rescue Tech. & Equip., LLC, administered through Everyone Gets Home.org — a fire service organization built on a simple promise about the end of every shift.
When that promise can't be kept, the people it breaks hardest are often the ones with no legal claim to any of the help that follows. This fund exists for them.
