Our Story

QRFup.org was created to fill a need to provide an emergency response team with unparalleled dedication and commitment to Veterans in crisis and their mental health needs. Our App is a tool, with a two-stage concept, designed to respond to Veterans in immediate crisis situations. Although crisis degrees may fluctuate, our teams are designed to respond to specific requests. After an SOS is activated, the first stage is initiated and our team can respond within minutes, with or without the need of first responders in support.

The second stage is initiated after action of our response team where we help the veteran and/or family to re-establish their trust, safety, health and livelihood. Veterans and their families encounter a variety of financial needs, career dilemmas and life experiences. We are a quick reaction force built and created by our own community to serve our community. We do not contact law enforcement or other government agencies to interfere or create further legal problems for our Veterans that are already dealing with an emotional, financial or familial crisis. We respond and won’t abandon you. Our App will be available to download soon.
