"Honoring Their Sacrifice. Protecting Their Legacy"
Fallen Heroes Family Lifeline
Welcome
Fallen Heroes Family Lifeline is an extremely necessary resource for military families after suffering the ultimate loss. The military has too many limitations, outdated information and too many situations in which they cannot help families with. Our organization was created out of first-hand experience and personal necessity. But, in seeking our own help, we quickly discovered COUNTLESS other families who were struggling and suffering from the same lack of assistance. Heroes families who were caught between the cracks of government and organizational bureaucracies. People suffering in quiet desperation as they have been told they don't meet all the requirements for the help they need...or that the help is simply not available. That was simply NOT acceptable to us.
​​
Over the last 9 years, we have developed contacts, connections, partnerships and a database of THOUSANDS of resources. With every year we grow that even more. We started by helping just a few of our fellow military families in crisis, connect with a few resources we knew of. A few families grew into 80 families in the first year. We nearly doubled that number in the second year - and doubled it again and again, with every year, since. In 2025, Fallen Heroes Family Lifeline received more than 2000 applications for assistance. There are THOUSANDS more we still need to help.
​​
This is very PERSONAL to us. We fight for these families because "we" are one of them. We understand the loss, the struggles, the frustration, and feeling like no one is listening or who cares. They are never just a number to us. They are our extended military family - and that means something to us. Because of our care and results, Fallen Heroes Family Lifeline has become a trusted, go-to source, for many of the larger nonprofit organizations out there, who refer families to us, daily.
​
We may not KNOW them all. We do OWE them all!
Our origin story is similar to all of those we wish to help and protect. One of loss
and with literally EVERYTHING going wrong, after. In our own struggles, we ended
up finding answers to help dozens of other families. We discovered a calling to do
more. Fallen Heroes Family Lifeline is dedicated to protecting ALL of our
extended military family to the best of our abilities.

Planned Events
Mar 1, 2026 - May 1, 2026 "Expanding The LIFELINE Tour" (National Fundraising Travel)
IT'S TIME TO EXPAND! After receiving more than 2000 applications in 2025, we knew it was time to do much more. March 1st, 2026, our Director will be traveling a large portion of the United States to Washington DC - and beyond.
​
We will be visiting Military Communities and Survivor Support Groups. We will be meeting Community and Corporate Leaders, Partner Organizations, as well as a few Politicians. Part of this operation is FUNDRAISING. But the larger part is to expand our LIFELINE, to be larger and more effective for the THOUSANDS of Families of Fallen Heroes in crisis. We also want to start working to make CHANGES to the system, that will help MILLIONS MORE!
​​​
WE NEED YOUR HELP! We have nearly everything we need for this operation. The RV is being provided by one of our supporters and partner organizations. One of our donors made all of our other equipment and promotional materials possible. However we are still needing help for Travel Expenses (GAS, TOLLS and MAINTENANCE). We also have a few of our Gold Start Families we have to stop and provide assistance to, along the way. EVERY DONATION will make a difference.

Mar 15, 2025 | --- "Heroes Legacy Scholarship Fund"
(Ongoing Project)
This scholarship fund is unlike most others! Fallen Heroes Family Lifeline is creating a special fund to help fill the gap of need for continued education. This will be available for surviving spouse, children and siblings of our fallen heroes. The majority of similar scholarship programs provide a one time amount of $1000-1500, available at a select few, specific colleges. That is where they stop. The Heroes Legacy Scholarship will be available to qualified individuals (basic qualifiers) for their choice of Trade Schools, as well as 2 and 4 year Colleges/Universities. As long as they are enrolled and completing each year, they will receive renewal until they have completed (max of 4 years). We are working with corporate sponsors who may also be providing some necessary supplies for each recipient. Help us to help others with the gift of a great education!
Jun 21, 2026 | 08:00 AM "Heroes Legacy 5k Walk & Run" - Community Fundraising Event
Walk, run, skip, hop or just show up and help out! Bring your friends, family, children, neighbors, coworkers and whoever you can get. This will not be your typical 5k event. There will be Entertainment, Games, Give-Away's, Food, Military Friends & Family, as well as other organizations that work with us in our unified cause.
​​
More information will be posted May 1st. Registration begins May 15th. All proceeds go to helping surviving military families in need, our Legacy Scholarship Programs and things that truly make a difference to those who have sacrificed the most for all of us. Help us show our love and appreciation.

2024 - 2028 | --- "Heroes Legacy Campground" - Long Term Healing Project
(Ongoing Project)
This project is a big one and one of the most important! Fallen Heroes Family Lifeline is making preparations to create and build an EXCLUSIVE campground retreat for Goldstar Families, Veterans and their Families. A place where they can truly get away and heal in nature, either with support groups or individually. The goal is to give individuals and families a place they can enjoy the land and nature - hiking, biking, trail rides, fishing, camping, trail rides, zip lines and more - without crowds of people who can't understand what they have been through. This vitally needed retreat needs more corporate and private partners.
