When aid workers or their families face injury, trauma, or loss, the systems meant to support them often fail. Proper Support steps in &mdash; mobilizing legal, medical, psychological, and recovery expertise so no one has to face hardship alone. At the same time, we press organizations to uphold their duty of care and build safer systems for the future. Your support ensures survivors who cannot afford help still receive it, and it fuels advocacy to change how the sector responds. With more resources, we can also expand our practical guidance &mdash; helping individuals and organizations prepare before an incident and recover after. One-time contributions help in the moment. Monthly supporters walk alongside us and those we serve for the long haul.

Hello <span contenteditable="false" data-custom-variable="{{firstname}}" fr-original-class="fr-deletable styled-tag-chip" fr-original-style="" style="background-color: rgb(248, 248, 255); border: 1px solid rgb(191, 191, 255); border-radius: 4px; color: rgb(42, 42, 196); padding: 1px 8px; font-size: 11px; display: inline-block; margin: 0px; overflow-wrap: anywhere; user-select: none; box-sizing: inherit;">First name, There are difficult times in life, after injury, loss, or injustice, when the path ahead feels unclear. It&rsquo;s like walking through fog, without certainty about where to step next. That&rsquo;s the reality many of the people we support face. Your contribution today means they don&rsquo;t have to walk that path alone. With your help, we step in to bring the legal, psychological, and practical tools they need to move forward and to bring the learning out, so others don&#39;t fall victim to similar incidents, or similar gaps in support.&nbsp; If you or someone you know could use Proper Support, please don&rsquo;t hesitate to reach out. And if you believe in this mission, we&rsquo;d be grateful if you continue your support monthly, and share this mission with others. It&rsquo;s an honour having you walk alongside this mission.
