Hope for Hero’s changes lives

I met Brad at the end of 2020. He was looking for a way to help with police officers suffering from the abuse they were taking the protest. Brad started helping police officers from Austin, San Antonio and Boerne. Brad and Hope For Hero’s have touched so many lives and have encouraged first responders to push on no matter how tough things get. Brad I love you brother! Thank you!
