New York police detective Robert Garland’s daughter was born just two days from his supervisor’s own baby girl, who has a rare neurological condition. Garland decided to help her out by launching “Fund the First,” a platform to provide financial and emotional support for first responders and their families.

Officially launched this past summer, the fund has raised nearly $200,000 for helping military and first responders in need across the nation.
