Who We Are

We are former Army Medics turned Veterans, who once had a clear purpose: to help those around us. Today, we’re civilians working in a variety of fields—Sarah is making strides in the fuels industry, Suzy has become an accounting powerhouse, and Brian is a fitness expert and coach.

All of our board members are proud Veterans of Foreign Wars. Suzy deployed to both Iraq and Afghanistan in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom. Sarah and Brian deployed together to Afghanistan with the same unit in support of Operation Freedom’s Sentinel. Brian also took part in Operation Allies Refuge during the 2021 withdrawal from Afghanistan.

We understand the gravity of taking care of your feet—they’re the foundation of your body. Today, we’re itching to tell someone to change their socks.

How We're Going to Help

A good pair of boots can cost a wildland firefighter $600 to $900, lasting 3-4 seasons before needing to be re-soled or replaced. Do they get a stipend you ask? Yes, they get an annual clothing stipend that covers one pair of pants or ½ a boot. They must supply much of what they’ll need to do their jobs as wildland firefighters.

Some wildland firefighters are contractors and are not affiliated with a department. When they are not affiliated, all personal gear is out of pocket, to include their bug out shelters which is an important part of their safety (these shelters cost roughly $600).

Our mission is to help these humble individuals get the boots, socks, and foot care items they need to maintain a mission ready status. A piece of comfort that is necessary while gritting through grueling 16-20 hour days of manual labor for days to weeks at a time.

We appreciate all donations to help this great group of people get the boots they deserve.
