Aerial Recovery’s Mission is to Save Lives & Stop Evil
Aerial Recovery trains and deploys Humanitarian Special Operators to effectively respond to natural and man-made disasters and combat sex trafficking. Made up of Veterans and First Responders from our Heal the Heroes Initiative, Aerial Recovery tackles some of the most difficult rescue and response missions across the globe.

On June 24, two earthquakes struck Venezuela 39 seconds apart, the strongest in more than a century. Entire neighborhoods are gone. More than 1,400 people are confirmed dead, over 50,000 are still missing, and the search has entered its final hours.
The number you are reading is sadly not the final number. U.S. Geological Survey modeling projects the death toll has a substantial probability of exceeding 10,000, with a real possibility of climbing past 100,000 as collapsed buildings are reached. Behind every figure is a family waiting to know, and a window that is closing.
The first 72 hours are when survivors can still be pulled out alive. Local responders have been digging since Wednesday with little rest and little equipment. They are exhausted, and they need help and hope now.
Aerial Recovery is deploying. Our partners are already on the ground, and our veteran-led teams arrive within 24 hours with search and rescue specialists, and working to clear certified K9 teams, and victim-location equipment built to find people beneath the rubble. We work alongside local responders, never around them.
But the rubble is only the first danger. After a disaster, the systems that protect children collapse with the buildings, and traffickers move in. Separated and orphaned children become targets. This pattern is documented after nearly every major disaster, and it is why our teams also work to protect vulnerable children and harden shelters against abuse. For us, saving lives and stopping evil are the same mission.
*Your gift turns minutes into lives saved.* It puts trained rescuers and search dogs on collapsed buildings inside the window that's left, delivers aid to families who have lost everything, and protects the children most at risk of being exploited in the chaos.
When disaster strikes, every minute matters.
The Global Rescue Fund supports the training, healing, and deployment of veterans and first responders for global disaster and human trafficking rescue missions.
Members of our Global Resource Alliance offer resources like boats, planes, food, or shelters to bolster life-saving rescue missions as urgent needs arise.

Our team is made up of heroes from our Heal the Heroes initiative. This program repurposes struggling veterans and first responders through a year-long healing program. Once completed, they have the opportunity to train to become Humanitarian Special Operators. These Humanitarian Special Operators conduct high-risk missions in anti-human trafficking and disaster response.
Our team is highly effective and has rescued over 8,000 people in the last 36 months. We love showing the world what these men and women are capable of. We are grateful to provide life-saving service opportunities to those who live to serve!
Aerial Recovery stands upon four core initiatives, which all work together to accomplish our mission.
