SAN DIEGO – The family of a San Diego Police Department officer who died on duty earlier this year is getting their mortgage paid off thanks to the Tunnel to Towers Foundation.
Officer David Sisto died in February during a social check-up in the Carmel Mountain neighborhood. He had served with the SDPD for over a decade.
Sisto’s family is one of eight California families of fallen first aiders whose mortgages have been fully repaid.
“This year we have seen the country come together to support the Tunnel to Towers Foundation and its mission,” said Frank Siller, Chairman and CEO of Tunnel to Towers, in a statement. “We have seen people from all walks of life join us in this quest to support our nation’s first responders and military families, these heroes – ready to give their lives for you or me – every day.”
In 2021, the Tunnel to Towers Foundation will make 65 mortgage payments between Thanksgiving and New Years Eve. So far this year she has paid off 135 mortgages across the country.
