In a heartwarming display of support, two charitable organizations have come forward to provide financial assistance to the family of fallen NYPD Officer Jonathan Diller. The Tunnel to Towers Foundation has announced its decision to pay off the mortgage on their Massapequa Park home, ensuring their long-term stability. Additionally, the Promise of Hope Foundation has offered to cover the funeral costs for Officer Diller.
The news of these generous donations was shared ahead of Officer Diller's wake, bringing some comfort to his grieving family. The Tunnel to Towers Foundation, established by Chairman & CEO Frank Siller in honor of his late son who perished on September 11, 2001, now aims to assist the families of first responders who have lost their lives on duty, including those affected by 9/11-related illnesses.
Frank Siller expressed his admiration for Officer Diller, acknowledging the risks he faced every day while serving the city. "Every day Officer Diller donned his uniform, there was a risk he may not come home. We will honor him not only for his sacrifice but for his unwavering resolve to protect the people of New York City. Tunnel to Towers is honored to ensure his family can stay in their home, forever," he stated.
Alongside the mortgage payment, the Promise of Hope Foundation has offered to cover the funeral costs, alleviating some financial burden during this difficult time for Officer Diller's loved ones.
Adding to the wave of support, the public tip-line COP-SHOT has pledged $10,000 towards the education fund for Officer Diller's one-year-old son. Although the alleged suspects in Officer Diller's tragic murder were apprehended at the scene, COP-SHOT has decided to contribute the reward money as a gesture to show that the service and sacrifice of this dedicated father and husband will never be forgotten.
Officer Jonathan Diller, who served with the NYPD for three years, is being remembered by fellow officers as a true "cop's cop." His tragic demise occurred during a routine traffic stop in Far Rockaway, Queens on Monday.
The generosity of these organizations and the support of the public serve as a reminder of the solidarity and gratitude the community feels towards those who protect and serve. Officer Diller's family will now be able to find some solace in knowing that their financial burdens have been lightened during this painful time.
The goodwill shown towards Officer Diller's family serves as a testament to the compassion and unity that exists within the city of New York, ensuring that his memory and sacrifice will never be forgotten.
