J.W. revealed that he had created a foundation to support children connected to the firefighting community.

Touched by Ethan’s selflessness, he offered my son the foundation’s very first honorary scholarship — covering his future education and providing mentorship opportunities. He also gifted Ethan his own firefighter’s badge, a symbol of bravery and service, encouraging him to always choose courage and kindness. Ethan was deeply moved and promised to live up to the trust J.W. had placed in him.
