About the Stephen Siller Children’s Foundation:
On September 11, 2001 while off-duty, the New York Fire Fighter — a father of five and himself an orphan by age 10 — heard what was happening in lower Manhattan. Stephen’s determination and unyielding dedication to others compelled him to give his life to save fellow New Yorkers and global citizens that fateful day. At the early age of 10 Stephen Siller lost both of his parents, but was blessed to have a network of siblings and loved ones growing up. The Stephen Siller Children’s Foundation works closely with the New York Foundling — a safe place for orphaned children, in addition to providing resources to children who have lost one or both parents in the line of duty, as well as the Wounded Warrior Project, FDNY, Burn Centers, KIDSAVE, and Freedom and Alliance Scholarship.
