Family Support

The whole household serves, yet it is often the last to ask for help.

Who this is for

The spouse who hasn't had a full day off in four years.

Behind a lot of the veterans and first responders we serve is somebody managing medications, appointments, insurance appeals, school schedules, and a job — often while doing the physical work of daily care. That person rarely calls a charity for themselves. They call about the roof.

Family Support exists so that when they do call, there's something for them too. We build it into every case plan by default rather than waiting to be asked, because being asked is the part that never happens.

What's available

Support that shows up as hours, dollars, and people.

Caregiver relief

Funded in-home or adult-day relief hours through vetted local providers, so a caregiver can go to their own medical appointment, a funeral, or a full night's sleep.

Benefits navigation

Hands-on help with VA claims and appeals, caregiver stipend programs, SSDI, Medicaid waivers, department pension and line-of-duty benefits, and school IEP advocacy.

Emergency essentials

Groceries, fuel cards, medication co-pays, car repair, and utility assistance when a single unexpected bill would otherwise cascade.

Children & youth

School supplies, sports and activity fees, tutoring, summer camp placement, and holiday support — delivered without making a kid feel like a case.

Peer connection

Facilitated caregiver circles, spouse meetups, and a private online community moderated by people who have lived it. Attendance is never a condition of aid.

Clinical referral

We are not a mental health provider. We are very good at getting someone connected to one quickly, and at covering the co-pays that stop people from going.

Connections for Heroes is not a crisis service. If you are safe and looking for practical housing or household support, we can help. If you are in crisis, please call the lines above to get the help you need.

Relief is measured in the hours a caregiver gets back.

Two full nights of sleep, or one day that belongs to them. Costs for these services vary with the household — contact us to talk through what support looks like for yours.
