Firefighters For Healing is a 501(c)3 charitable organization that supports burn survivors, firefighters, first responders and their families.
“We had a house fire. All of our family was flown to Region’s Hospital. Your apartments were our refuge. Our family has had such a terrible tragedy but your kindness has helped us have hope for a better tomorrow.”
Our Transitional Healing Center offers 12 fully furnished “home-away-from-home” suites to families of burn survivors, first responders and their families while being cared for at Hennepin Healthcare and other Twin Cities area hospitals.
When a first responder has a medical diagnosis or a child or adult has sustained burn trauma, the family is forced into weeks or months of unique challenges. Our Transitional Healing Center will provide 24/7 relief for families by providing emergency housing and a wide range of support.
I know firsthand the power of having family close by when you’re recovering in the hospital. We are thankful for the many community partners who helped to plan for, fund and furnish this space for our families. There isn’t anyone supporting burn survivor families in this way in the Midwest. Patients who have survived burn trauma have unique challenges and often a very lengthy recovery. Their families are often displaced for weeks, if not months.
Firefighters For Healing works with community partners to meet the physical, emotional and financial needs of patients and their families. We show up with compassion, understanding and the ability to take action.
Firefighters for Healing uses your gifts, talents, and time to change lives.
Your donation makes a huge difference in the lives of burn survivors, firefighters and their families.
Firefighters for Healing is a non-profit, tax-exempt, 501(c)3) organization. Your donation is tax-deductible, subject to rules and regulations of the IRS. Please consult your tax professional for instructions on filing this deduction. Firefighters for Healing will provide a receipt with our federal tax-exempt ID for such purposes.
