At fundthefirst.com, we are honored to host fundraisers for families facing unimaginable battles — and Baby Blakely’s story is one that has touched hearts across the country.

At only 11 weeks old, Blakely Bree Vergano has been diagnosed with Congenital Hyperinsulinism, an extremely rare condition affecting approximately 1 in 50,000 children. The daughter of an active-duty Marine and granddaughter of two retired NYPD Sergeants and an active Nassau County police officer, Blakely has spent much of her young life fighting in a hospital bed while her family fights right alongside her.

As her family travels for specialized medical care and prepares for the possibility of major surgery, our community has stepped up in an incredible way. Through fundthefirst.com, more than 129 donors have come together to raise over $56,000 to help ease the financial burden and allow this family to focus on what matters most: Baby Blakely.

This is exactly why fundthefirst.com exists. When life changes in an instant, verified fundraising gives people a trusted place to rally around those who need it most.

We are incredibly grateful to every donor who has supported this campaign and proud to see another family receive the help, hope, and support they deserve.

If you or someone you know is facing a hardship and needs help, create a verified fundraiser today at fundthefirst.com. Because no family should have to fight alone.

We are honored to announce that fundthefirst.com has officially been endorsed by the Suffolk County Deputy Sheriffs Police Benevolent Association.

When the men and women who dedicate their lives to protecting our communities place their trust in our platform, it means everything to us.

This endorsement is not simply about fundthefirst.com. It is about what we all believe in: that no individual or family should face hardship alone, and that when tragedy strikes, there should be a trusted, verified place for people to come together and help.

Recently, the Suffolk County Deputy Sheriffs PBA used fundthefirst.com for its No-Shave February fundraiser and raised more than $6,000 for Beyond The Badge NY in support of families impacted by su***de. They saw firsthand the power of community, and the importance of knowing every campaign is verified and every donation reaches its intended recipient.

Our CEO, Robert Garland, a retired NYPD detective, built fundthefirst.com because he knew firsthand that those who serve others often struggle to find support when they need it most.

That is why every fundraiser on fundthefirst.com is identity verified, every campaign is reviewed, and every donation is protected through trusted partners like Plaid and Stripe.

To the Suffolk County Deputy Sheriffs PBA: thank you for your trust, your support, and your commitment to helping those in need.

Together, we are proving that when communities come together, lives can change.

Kelly, Eddie, and their girls lost their family home to a fire, a sudden and devastating loss for a family that has given so much to their community in Illinois and to their country. Anyone who knows the Kleins knows they are among the most generous, warm, and joy-filled people around. They would never ask for help themselves, which is exactly why the people who love them stepped up to ask on their behalf.

The response was immediate. The community came together and this fundraiser reached its goal, helping the Klein family begin the long road to rebuilding after an unimaginable loss.

FundTheFirst.com gives colleagues, friends, and family members the tools to organize trusted fundraisers for verified first responders and their families, with funds going directly to those who need them.
