Greenville County Deputies’ Wounded and Recovering Fund
The Wounded and Recovering Fund was started by the Greenville County Deputies in response to an uptick in service-related injuries that have occurred among members of law enforcement in the past several years. Attorney Josh Christian of Christian & Christian is one of two civilians on the Wounded and Recovering Fund’s Board of Directors and has assisted the organization in putting together yearly fundraisers and deciding how the organization will allocate funds to people in need. Since its genesis, the organization has given more than $25,000 to members of law enforcement and their families in times of need. The Wounded and Recovering Fund was set up in order to help reduce the financial hardship members of law enforcement experience after being injured in the line of duty. Proceeds raised by the organization go toward helping injured officers and their families continue to pay for medical expenses, therapy, and other health-related costs. Gifts are also intended to help ensure that members of law enforcement and their families experience as little additional financial strain as possible due to time spent out of work, which, in some circumstances, can last months to years and create serious monetary crises.
