FAQS

Who does Hero Ledger support?

We support firefighters, postal workers, and social workers — three professions that carry enormous responsibility for their communities but rarely get the recognition or resources their work deserves.

What kind of support do firefighters receive through Hero Ledger?

Firefighters can access trauma-informed peer counseling, emergency financial assistance after on-duty injuries, and scholarships for advanced training and certifications.

What kind of support do postal workers receive?

Postal workers benefit from advocacy for safer routes and realistic delivery schedules, resources on heat and cold exposure protection, and support for those facing harassment or unsafe working conditions.

What kind of support do social workers receive?

Social workers have access to burnout-prevention workshops, advocacy for manageable caseloads, home-visit safety training, and a peer network to process the emotional demands of the job.
