We had a spooktacular Art From The Heart this past weekend! 👻

Little ghosts, superheroes, princesses, and more filled our Family Center with smiles and laughter as they showed off their adorable costumes. Everyone got to dive into frightfully fun crafts like charm bracelets, lollipop spiders, trick-or-treat bags, and more. 🕸️ The creativity was boo-tiful to see and we all had a great time celebrating this spooky season together! 🎃

Thank you to everyone who attended and everyone who helped make this day so much fun! 🧡🌟

Another amazing year at Dia De Los Whitewalls has come and gone 🌟❤️

We had a great time at the fifth annual Dia De Los Whitewalls in September. It was amazing to see all the beautiful cars and community show up to support. Thank you to Sabor Kustoms and everyone else who helps put on this event each year, you are all amazing! ✨

In the past five years, Dia De Los Whitewalls has raised over $100,000 for Jacob’s Heart, making a huge difference for kiddos battling cancer and their families. We are so grateful for this amazing partnership that we have built, thank you for all the support! ❣️

“Jacob’s Heart brought joy back into our home and gave Yami and her siblings a Christmas they will never forget.” ❤️

When you adopt a family this holiday season, you are bringing joy to Jacob’s Heart families’ homes during a time of uncertainty. When Yamilet was diagnosed with Leukemia in 2024, her family was thrown down a path with an uncertain ending. That holiday season was filled with many emotions for her family. With the support of amazing donors like YOU, their wishlist was fulfilled allowing them to have an amazing Christmas. ✨ Yamilet’s parents did not have to worry about how to get gifts for their children, they focused on spending time together. ❤️🎄

It is the best time of the year to spread some holiday cheer! ✨❤️

These upcoming months can be hard for many families who are battling pediatric cancer. From growing medical bills to the uncertainty of their child’s health, the joy of the season can quickly disappear. That is why Jacob’s Heart steps in with our Adopt-A-Family program! 🌟 This is a chance to help a family get their wishlists met, easing stress for families and spreading some much needed holiday cheer. 🎁

Today is national DAF day, a day to highlight all the amazing things Donor-Advised Funds can do! ✨

What is a DAF?
A DAF is a charitable savings account that lets you donate to your favorite cause. You can contribute cash, stocks, or other assets, get the tax deduction up front, and then recommend grants to organizations like Jacob’s Heart when you're ready. It’s a great way to plan and simplify giving! 💗

Did you know that over $250 billion is currently set aside in U.S. donor-advised funds (DAFs), with much of it remaining unused, as less than 25% was granted out to nonprofits in the past year. Jacob’s Heart is now verified to receive donations through DAFs.

If you choose to give to Jacob’s Heart, your DAF will:
⭐Support our programs like Full Hearts Groceries and Transportation
⭐Ensure families can have basic bills covered while their child is in treatment
⭐Help families get necessary counseling services so they can navigate this complex journey
⭐Make sure that no family has to ever face this journey alone

Visit the link in our bio to learn more information and give through your DAF today! 🎗️✨

Childhood Cancer Awareness Month might be over but the fight for our kiddos battling cancer continues! 💛

One way we are able to do this is by visiting different cities in our service area to receive their proclamations announcing September as Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. This past September, we received 30 different proclamations, the most we have ever accepted! 🌟 Some of these cities were in our new service areas, giving us the opportunity to share the work we do at Jacob’s Heart and spread our mission even further. 💛

Thank you to every city council that issued us a proclamation this past month. Your support helps spread awareness about childhood cancer beyond September, and we hope the conversation continues year-round. ✨🎗️

At Jacob’s Heart, we stand by every family as they fight pediatric cancer, no matter the outcome. 💛

We know that sometimes on this journey, kiddos do not beat cancer and are taken from their families too soon. During this unimaginable loss, we try to stand by the family's side and support them through it. By offering individual counseling, our bereavement support group, the Forever Loved Grief Retreat, and opportunities for peer connection, we aim to offer families meaningful ways to find support as they navigate their grief. 🎗️🤍

As September comes to an end, it is important to remember to keep advocating for our kiddos who can no longer do it for themselves. We say their name and keep on fighting so others do not have to keep losing their lives to pediatric cancer. 💛✨

It has been two weeks since our Jacob’s Heart Golf Tournament and we are still reminiscing on how much fun we had! ⛳ 🩵

Thank you to everyone who showed up for both our tournament and our Golden Par-Tee! From swinging clubs and delicious bites, to a hole-in-one prize that remains unclaimed (again!) and an unexpected surprise engagement, the day was nothing short of action-packed! We are grateful to our incredible community for showing up, teeing off, and par-teeing with us to support kiddos battling cancer and their families. 💚✨

Thank you to Andrew Perez for speaking at our Golden Par-Tee! It was truly moving to hear the story of one of our Jacob’s Heart young adults and to be reminded that he will always be a cherished part of our Jacob’s Heart family.

Thank you again to all of our sponsors and in-kind donors, the day would not have been possible without your support! Thank you to Seascape Golf Club for helping us put the tournament on and also to Jacob Holmes, their assistant pro, for being at hole 8. Thank you to Jayson Stebbins for being our emcee for the Golden Par-Tee, we are so grateful for your support and always making our events a great time. And a huge thank you to all of our amazing volunteers who helped make sure the day ran smoothly. We could not have done any of this without all of the support, thank you! 🩵

From medical bills to income loss, the financial strain of childhood cancer can be overwhelming for families.🎗️

During Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, we’re reminded that far too many are living this reality. That’s why awareness matters, because with more support, we can bring hope, relief, and healing to children and parents in our community. At Jacob’s Heart, this means providing essential services like financial assistance, weekly groceries, transportation, and our own Caroline’s Closet to ease some of the heavy financial burdens. 💛

Thank you for helping raise awareness during this month. Because of your support, families can focus on caring for their child without the added worry of how to pay for life’s essentials. 💛✨
