Officer Enrique “Ricky” Flores has spent his career serving others. Now, as he recovers from a serious medical emergency and surgery, his family, fellow officers, teammates, friends, and supporters are showing him that he doesn’t have to face this road alone.

Already, 247 donors have helped raise more than $23,000 toward his $30,000 goal.

This is bigger than a fundraiser. It’s a community standing behind one of its own when he needs it most.

At FundTheFirst.com, we’re proud to provide a trusted, verified platform where people can confidently come together for those who serve our communities.

When it matters most, people show up.

Support Ricky. Share his story. Help us keep the momentum going.

After a sudden medical emergency, Mac Van Lith underwent emergency brain surgery and now faces a long road to recovery. His family is navigating the financial burden that comes with being by his side—and their community has begun stepping up to help.

This is what FundTheFirst.com was built for: giving real people a trusted, verified place to come together when someone needs them most.

Every donation matters. Every share matters. And sometimes, simply showing a family that they aren’t facing the road ahead alone matters just as much.

Real People. Real Causes. Real Impact.

When Officer Brendon Gallagher was seriously injured in the line of duty, his family, fellow officers, organizations, and people from across the community stepped up.

More than 1,600 donors came together to raise $153,680 through his verified fundraiser.

That campaign has since ended, but its impact remains.

Fundraising works when people trust where their money is going. That’s why FundTheFirst was built around verification, transparency, and beneficiary protection—so when tragedy strikes, communities have a place they can confidently turn to.

Officer Gallagher’s fundraiser is one of many examples of what can happen when trust meets community.

We’re proud to have been the platform his supporters relied on when it mattered.

Real People. Real Causes. Real Impact.

Sergeant Wagner dedicated more than two decades to serving others—first through his service in the United States Navy and later through a distinguished career in law enforcement. Beyond the uniform, he was a devoted husband and father whose greatest pride was his family.

Following his passing, the Montgomery Township Police Benevolent Association created a verified fundraiser on FundTheFirst.com to support his wife and four children during this incredibly difficult time.

This is why FundTheFirst exists: to give first responders, their families, and their communities a trusted place to turn when the unexpected happens.

🖤 A life of service. A legacy that will not be forgotten.

When someone who spent his life serving others leaves behind a family in need, a community has the opportunity to stand beside them.

Officer Michael Mendolia dedicated 22 years to law enforcement, serving communities across New York City and Nassau County. He was more than an officer—he was a husband, father, friend, colleague, and someone his fellow officers knew they could count on.

Following Michael’s passing, the Nassau County Eighth Precinct organized a verified fundraiser on FundTheFirst.com to support his wife and son as they navigate this unimaginable loss.

The fundraiser has already received incredible support, but their goal has not yet been reached.

Every donation helps. Every share expands their reach. And every act of support reminds this family that they are not alone.

At FundTheFirst.com, this is why we exist—to provide a trusted, verified fundraising platform people can turn to when their families, friends, colleagues, or communities need help.

When our heroes need us, we show up.

One incident. Two officers. Two departments. One community behind them. 💙

Officer Jon Escobar of the Rocky Hill Police Department and Officer Alexander Diaz of the Hartford Police Department were both shot in the line of duty while protecting their communities.
