Tragedy Assistance & Survivor Support

Tragedy Assistance

Unwavering Support in Times of Need.

 

When an NSW service member is injured or becomes critically ill, the Navy SEAL Foundation provides financial and logistical support so the service member’s focus can be on healing. Additionally, we provide support for the warrior who suffers the loss of a parent or sibling.

For those who have made the ultimate sacrifice, we stand firmly behind their family during this time of crisis. Immediate financial assistance is provided to the surviving family to help cover costs associated with the dignified transfer of remains and memorial services, as well as travel expenses for immediate and extended family.

Surviving families are provided with a variety of vital services to children, spouses, and parents of fallen warriors in their time of need and into the future. We provide mortgage and rent assistance, home maintenance programs, financial and grief counseling, legal assistance, respite childcare, and other critical services. The Foundation continues to support surviving families in the years following their loss through specialized camps, retreats, and bereavement activities.

No matter the transformative life event, the Navy SEAL Foundation is always there for our community. We work to bridge the gap of resources not already provided by the government during these challenging times.
