It's been a month since Sumter County deputy, Corporal Andrew Gillette, was killed in the line of duty while trying to serve a detention order and eviction notice.
One foundation is now lending a helping hand to Gillette's family by paying for their home mortgages.
"They want to stay in the home where he worked so hard to put them in and they don't have to give up that," Tunnel to Towers CEO Frank Siller said.
This 9/11 foundation has a Fallen First Responder Program, created in 2015, to help families of law enforcement officers and firefighters.
"The Foundation's goal is to ensure stability and security to these families facing sudden tragic loss."
In response, Gillette's wife, Marie, said this "lessens the burden as John Curtis and I begin the journey to rebuild our lives without him."
WACH FOX News asked Siller how the family has been coping with the loss of their beloved husband and father.
"These great heroes marry strong women, and it's incredible like I said, he served his country for 12 years, so she understand sacrifice," Siller said.
Gillette served in the Air Force for 12 years before joining the Sumter County Sheriff's Department in 2013.
He was 37 years old and is survived by his wife and son.
