“My husband was mine and our daughter’s rock. While nothing and no one can bring him back, and the days are not always easy to get through, the Tunnel to Towers home program allows us the privilege to breathe a little easier. This foundation has taken one big stress away as we continue to learn and navigate through this new life without our person, in our home. This is a blessing, and no words can ever express our gratitude,” said Catherine.  

Cpl. Totty joined the Baton Rouge Police Department in June 2014, he was 31 years old.

The Tunnel to Towers Foundation paid off the family’s mortgage in July 2021 in honor of Independence Day.
