Providing relief and support to help children with devastating medically complex, neurological conditions and their families in the St. Louis area and beyond.

Here’s what we’ve been up to…

Impact
JJMF Family Video
JJMF is incredibly grateful to Tim O’Toole and the Poolhouse team and Luke Terrell and Restless Productions, LLC for generously producing this beautiful video featuring the Kappelmann family. Watch the video as Jamie and Greg share firsthand about the impact of JJMF’s programs in their lives. Their perspective is heartwarming and moving, and we are full of gratitude to count their family as part of our courageous community.

Advancing our Mission
An Evening of Joy
We had a phenomenally magical night at An Evening of Joy! Your astounding support enabled us to raise more than $240,000 to serve children with complex neurological conditions and their families. Thank you to everyone who sponsored, attended, bid on items, bought raffle tickets, and volunteered. Your involvement and support fuels our mission to lessen families’ worries, in turn providing them with more time to focus on loving their children and savoring the moments of joy that fill their everyday lives.

THANK YOU again for making a difference for our courageous community!

Year-End Giving
As 2024 comes to a close, we pause to reflect on the support and connections the JJMF has been able to facilitate for our families. During this time of year, we also eagerly look ahead to 2025–and the ways we can continue to strengthen our resources. Thanks to the incredible generosity of longtime JJMF supporters Rachel and Jack Oliver, each gift we receive between now and 12/31 will be matched–dollar for dollar, up to $10,000–doubling the impact of your gift towards our mission.

As we turn the page on 2024, we humbly invite you to consider making a year-end contributionto power our programs in 2025. Together, we can ensure that every family who turns to us can feel the JJMF’s steady, compassionate presence that makes their journey a little easier.
