Our Mission

“Treating families to WOW! Experiences^®, giving children who will lose their Mom or Dad to cancer a timeout to create indispensable memories as a family… while they can.”

WOW! Experiences

A WOW! Experience is what JAJF does when an entire family has been turned upside down due to the stresses of late stage cancer. Following an Oncologist’s prescription, JAJF sends families on a memory-making, fun trip together to resorts and destinations nationwide.

From the

Heart

The JAJF FROM THE HEART Series® is a collection of brief, poignant, powerful and uplifting messages of gratitude and joy from some of our young families we’ve treated since 2006 (each are just about a minute).
