A message from our CEO and Co-Founder:

As we close out this year, we want to pause and say thank you. Behind every number are real people, real calls, and real moments. This work is only possible because of the support, trust, and partnership of first responders, clinicians, agencies, donors, and community members who believe in showing up after the incident, not just during it.

If you want to learn more about our crisis response work, training, or how to get involved, reach out to us. We’re here, and we’re committed to continuing this work into the year ahead.

Following today’s active shooter incident in New Castle County, our hearts are with the officers, first responders, victims, and families affected.

What happens after the scene is secured is often the hardest part.

When the adrenaline fades, the nervous system catches up. Images replay. Sleep is disrupted. Emotions surface in ways that can feel unfamiliar or overwhelming. These responses are not weakness, they are normal human reactions to abnormal, high-stress events.

For those who responded today, and for the families who love them: connection, rest, and support matter right now. Isolation and “pushing through” do not.

For agencies and leadership, the first 24–72 hours are critical. Early, compassionate support can make a meaningful difference in long-term wellbeing. Presence matters. Follow-through matters.

Today, our focus remains exactly where it belongs on caring for the people who ran toward danger.

We hold them, and their families, in our thoughts tonight.

Big thank you to Nan Xiang Soup Dumplings for welcoming us to their Newark grand opening and for their incredibly generous $1,000 donation to The Trauma Survivors Foundation in support of Delaware’s first responders.

From the lion dance to the ribbon cutting (and yes, the soup dumplings were unreal), it was clear this opening was about more than food, it was about community.

We’re grateful to partner with businesses that genuinely show up for those who show up for others. Welcome to Newark, you did it right. 🥟❤️
