Samantha's Story. Continuing the Legacy of Service and Resilience (NEW)

When her FDNY firefighter father William Switzer died from 9/11-related illness, Samantha was working three jobs and trying to finish college. With a scholarship from First Responders Children’s Foundation, Samantha was able to realize her dream of becoming a nurse. Now Samantha is saving lives just like her father did.

Samantha's story shines with hope and resilience. Holding tight to a promise she made to her father as he passed, she forged a career that now stands as a testament to his legacy. Her journey illuminates the boundless power of the human spirit to conquer adversity and urges us all to rewrite our challenges as triumphs.

Alan Jackson's Tribute to First Responders: We're Counting on Them

First Responders Children's Foundation worked closely with Universal Music Group Nashville to integrate this timely rendition of the classic Don Williams song "Lord, I Hope This Day is Good" by Caylee Hammack and Alan Jackson with vivid images of hardworking first responder heroes -- firefighters, police officers, paramedics, EMTs, doctors, nurses, coast guard, 911 dispatchers -- who faithfully answer the call to every emergency, and are always ready to help others.  You can help too by sharing our PSA today.

Let’s Show Up with Ryan Seacrest

Can you remember a time when a first responder came to you or a loved one's rescue? 

These everyday heroes are risking their lives for us with every emergency call they answer, and every shift they work. Day and night, whether rescuing people in danger, fighting fires, rushing sick or injured people to the hospital, saving our lives or steadfastly nursing us back to health, they are there for us.

When you need help, these brave men and women show up, 24-hours a day, 365 days a year. They put themselves in harm’s way for us. Now we want to show up for them.

First Responders Children's Foundation has teamed up with Ryan Seacrest to share the inspiring message of these selfless and dedicated people in healthcare, fire services and public safety who never take a day off from protecting us. The essential role that they play in taking care of our families, homes and communities and their noble acts of heroism are featured in :15, :30 and :60 PSAs.  

Please help us show support for first responders and give thanks to them for all that they do by downloading and placing our Ryan Seacrest “Let’s Show Up for First Responders” PSA in your active rotation.
