NORTH CHARLESTON, S.C. (WCSC) - A Lowcountry nonprofit organization is trying to respond to a greater need in the first responder community despite a decrease in funding.
The Lowcountry Firefighter Support Team founder and Executive Director Gerald Mishoe says they helps between 5,000 to 6,000 first responders every year as well as their family members. They now serve 23 counties. Their team consists of 81 peer team members and 22 mental health clinicians.
