About Us
At Jacob Way Organization, we are on a mission to provide vital support to families of children battling cancer. Founded in honor of Jacob, a brave young boy whose life was tragically cut short by progressive osteosarcoma just 77 days after his diagnosis, our organization is dedicated to ensuring that no family faces the challenges of childhood cancer alone.
Our Gold Ribbon Campaign is central to this mission. With a goal to raise $50,000, the funds raised will directly support our programs that offer financial assistance, mental health resources, and emotional support to families during their child’s cancer journey. This campaign shines a light on the importance of childhood cancer awareness and the need for a community of care to walk alongside families in their darkest moments.
What We Do
Financial Support: We provide financial assistance through our Caring Hearts Initiative, offering grocery gift cards, wellness day packages, and more to families in need.
Emotional Support: We host quarterly group therapy webinars and provide mental health resources, ensuring families have the emotional strength to face the challenges ahead.
Advocacy: Our Gold Ribbon Campaign raises awareness about childhood cancer, ensuring that the stories of young warriors like Jacob are heard and supported.
Our Impact
In 2024 alone, we supported over 100 families with financial assistance, care packages and emotional resources.
Our outreach through social media and local partnerships reached over 20,000 people last year, increasing awareness about childhood cancer in the North Texas community.
Through the Caring Hearts Initiative, we provided $10,000 in direct financial aid to families in need of support during treatment.
Why We Need Your Help
With your support, we can reach our $50,000 goal and expand our programs to serve even more families. Every dollar raised will go directly to providing critical resources to children and their families battling cancer. Together, we can make a lasting impact in the North Texas community.
Words from Our Community:
"Jacob Way has been a lifeline for my family during one of the toughest times in our lives. Their support helped us focus on what mattered most—being together and caring for our child."— Ashley, mother of a childhood cancer survivor
"I support Jacob Way because they provide real, tangible help to families who are going through the unimaginable. Their work is changing lives every day."—Jasmine, long-time volunteer
Join Us in Making a Difference
Your donation to our Gold Ribbon Campaign will not only help us reach our financial goal but also spread awareness about the critical need for childhood cancer resources. Together, we can create a future where no child or family faces cancer alone.
Thank you for your support.
Our mission is to provide free, professional support services to parents and guardians of children affected by cancer. The program is designed to ease the financial and emotional burden to help the family focus on healing.
Financial Support for Families
We provide critical financial assistance to families of children battling cancer, helping them cover essential expenses like groceries, medical costs, and daily living needs. Contributions to our Caring Hearts Initiative directly support these families in their time of crisis, allowing them to focus on their child's well-being without the stress of financial burdens.
Home Office Space
As we expand our services and outreach, we are in need of a dedicated home office space to run day-to-day operations efficiently. Having a proper office space will help us manage programs, better serve our community, and create a more productive environment for our staff and volunteers.
Christmas Support for Families
The holiday season can be especially difficult for families going through cancer treatment. We aim to bring joy and relief by providing Christmas support, including care packages, gift cards, and holiday meals. Your donations help ensure that families can experience the warmth and love of the season, even during their hardest times.
Funding for a Dedicated Executive Director and Outreach
As our organization continues to grow, we need funding to support the hiring of a full-time Executive Director. This position is essential to help us lead our programs, manage resources, and expand our outreach efforts. The Executive Director will also be instrumental in building partnerships, securing funding, and ensuring that we continue to make a lasting impact on the lives of families battling childhood cancer.
At Jacob Way Organization, we are committed to fostering a diverse, equitable, and inclusive environment where all employees, clients, and partners feel valued, respected, and empowered. We believe that diversity in backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives enriches our organization and drives innovation, creativity, and success. We are dedicated to creating a workplace culture that promotes fairness, equality, and opportunity for all.
