how to contribute

Help us Support Deserving Community Servants

The FSDS is a 501(c)(3) organization and relies on tax deductible contributions to continue providing programs and services to individuals with disabilities. For those wounded in the line of duty, their disabilities live on long after the media attention and outpouring of public support. They continue to have needs, equipment and service dogs must be replaced and these costs can be insurmountable. Most benefits to which they are entitled DO NOT cover service dog costs. A service dog increases independence and safety, and can dramatically improve the quality of life for those in need. Please give generously so that we may continue to provide individuals with these otherwise denied benefits.

Wounded Phoenix Police Officer Nancy Elam is just one example of the people we are currently working to assist. Nancy was the first female motorcycle officer in the Phoenix PD. In 1995, while enroute to assist at the scene of a motor vehicle accident, she was struck head on. She suffered multiple injuries including a fractured jaw, herniated disk, impaled kickstand through her left foot and a severe traumatic brain injury. She spent 3 days in intensive care before being transferred to the floors, and then spent close to 5 years in rehabilitation for her head injury, She continues to suffer effects of this injury and requires a service dog to assist her. Prior to her injury, she enjoyed scuba diving and hunting, activities she is no longer able to enjoy. She has been unable to continue her work as a police officer, which she did for the 10 years leading up to her injury. This year will be the 16 year anniversary of her injuries. Out of the public eye, she is alone and forgotten and needs our assistance. Please help us to help her and others like her.
