About The Poppy Project
Poppy’s Story
Growing up in a world of late-night call-outs and hard-to-deal-with jobs has created a long-term effect on Poppy’s life and wellbeing. Learning to navigate the challenges and hardships of the job has been an integral part of her life and continues to be post-retirement.
Our Mission
Living in the world of first responders can be scary and difficult to comprehend and cope with. At the Poppy Project, we plan to advocate for support systems for First Responder families. We want to invoke change in our government entities to form this mental health structures.
Our First Responders
The work of a first responder is dangerous and often places police officers, fire-fighters, and paramedics in life or death situations. Our emergency service workers risk their lives everday for the safety and wellbeing of our community.
