STEPHEN'S STORY
Firefighter Stephen Gerard Siller was the youngest of seven children born to Mae and George Siller. At the age of eight Stephen’s father died and a year and a half later he also lost his mother, which left him an orphan to be raised by his older siblings.For a while Stephen went through a period of struggle, but because of the love of his siblings and the values instilled in him by his parents, he grew up to be an extraordinary individual and dedicated firefighter. More than most, he knew that time was precious and accomplished much in his 34 years.
On September 11, 2001, Stephen had just gotten off the late shift at Squad 1, Park Slope, Brooklyn. He was on his way to play golf with his brothers when his scanner told of the first plane hitting the Twin Towers. When he heard the news, Stephen called his wife Sally and asked her to tell his brothers he would catch up with them later, and then returned to Squad 1 to get his gear.
Stephen drove his truck to the Brooklyn Battery Tunnel, but it was already closed. So he strapped 60 lbs. of gear to his back, rushed on foot through gridlocked traffic and ran from the Tunnel to the Towers where he gave up his life while saving others.
Stephen had everything to live for, a great wife, five wonderful children, devoted extended family and friends. Stephen’s parents were lay Franciscans and he grew up under the guiding philosophy of St. Francis of Assisi, “While we have time, let us do good.” Stephen’s life and heroic death serve as reminder to us all to live life to the fullest and to spend our time here on earth doing good – this is his legacy.

We’re a nonprofit organization based out of the Redmond, Washington in the United States that believes God loves people and has a plan to help them. The despair growing in our Pacific Northwest is not part of that plan. But you are. We help local professionals use their available hours wisely right in their own communities to create hope for people who need it most.
THEY BRING THE NEED.
YOU BRING THE VOLUNTEERS.
The problems growing in our communities are not standalone issues. Neglect leads to substance abuse leads to poverty leads to homelessness leads to hunger. The challenges are interconnected. To change the downward cycle, shouldn’t the relief agencies and volunteers be connected, too?
