JORDAN'S LIGHT LIVES ON

The Jordan Elizabeth Harris Foundation was founded in 2014 in memory of Jordan Harris, a remarkable young woman from North Richland Hills, Texas.

Jordan was a valedictorian, National Merit Scholar, tireless volunteer, and compassionate advocate for others. She was completing her senior year at the University of Michigan when she died by suicide in 2012, shortly after being diagnosed with depression.

JEHF was created to help ensure more people have the knowledge and confidence to recognize when someone may be struggling—and know how to respond.

Today, Jordan's light lives on every time someone starts a conversation, reaches out, and helps another person find hope.

🌟 BE THE LIGHT. MAKE YOUR GIFT TODAY.🌟
