Support Rich Henderson's Family

Heroes often go unsung, but their acts of bravery and kindness echo in the hearts of those they've touched. Richard Henderson, was not only a guardian at the crosswalks of the school where he tirelessly worked; Rich was a guardian to all those lucky enough to know him. A devoted father of three and doting grandfather of two young girls, Richard's life was tragically cut short at the age of 45, a victim of senseless violence on a Brooklyn subway train. His act of bravery, intervening in a dispute to safeguard peace, reflects the essence of his being – a man who lived to help others.

Richard's life was a mosaic of selflessness and dedication. For over a decade, he served as a crossing guard, shepherding young lives safely, a role that mirrored his innate desire to protect and care for those around him. Rich was a peaceful man, who never had a quarrel with the world but lost his life trying to quell one. This profound loss has left his family, friends, and community in a state of shock and grief.
