The Problem

When a child is in medical crisis, families are suddenly thrust into an overwhelming situation, often under-resourced and struggling to cope. The fear and dread they face can be paralyzing, making it difficult to even breathe, let alone make important decisions or find the strength to continue. Many families are forced into impossible choices: paying for travel expenses or their mortgage, maintaining employment or staying by their child's bedside in the hospital.

The Solution

The Ashlynn B. Jackson Foundation stands as a compassionate partner, walking alongside families in the midst of their child’s medical crisis. We offer comfort, support, and practical aid to help parents navigate the overwhelming storm of fear and confusion. By providing short-term financial assistance, emotional support, and a spiritual perspective, we help relieve the strain and keep families together. We also introduce God into their journey, offering hope and peace when stress threatens to pull them apart.

Power to Help

No one can do everything to support a family facing the crisis of a child's life-threatening medical condition, but everyone can do something. Each year, 40,000 children in the U.S. are born with congenital heart defects. With your support, we can make a meaningful difference in their lives—offering hope, comfort, and critical assistance when they need it most.
