LOS ANGELES — With its donations swelling, a charity formed by the older brother of a firefighter who died in the 9/11 terrorist attack on the World Trade Center was ready to up its game.
Its mission of paying the mortgages of fallen first responders' families and building housing for critically injured veterans was no longer enough, Tunnel to Towers founder Frank Siller decided.
"We must expand our mission to eradicate homelessness among our veterans nationwide," Siller told his board late last year.
