Our dear friend Dane and his family are embracing a brighter 2025 with a loving support companion 🐾! Meet Louie, Dane's incredible service dog, who will bring joy, a little chaos (the good kind 😉) and extra assistance, helping Dane to thrive in all his adventures. With a shared love for the outdoors, they're destined for unforgettable experiences. Here's to an unstoppable bond in 2026 and beyond!

It is with heavy hearts that we share the news that Sharon Vershaw, a board member, founding family member, and supporter of Jordan’s Joy, passed away unexpectedly early this week. The amount of support and dedication Sharon put into Jordan’s Joy over the years has not gone unnoticed; from hosting large event fundraisers at her home to connecting amazing children to our charity. We are forever thankful and grateful for her support. Please keep the Vershaw family in your thoughts and prayers as they navigate the loss of a mother and a wife. She impacted so many lives and will truly be missed by many.

Sometimes the best things to come forces us to have the most patience 💚

Remember our 7 year old (about to be 8 in a couple months 🙂) friend Dane?
Well…We are close to the end of training for Dane’s future adventure buddy.

Dane’s service dog has been trained with specific tasks to support Dane and his family as he continues to navigate through life.

We are beyond excited for the introduction and next chapter of Dane’s life with a new furry companion 👍🏼

What a way to end the week 🥰

Ripley is heading into the weekend ready to enJOY her new pink and purple bedroom with a little splash of her Spidey friends 🕷️

We think bedtime will be a breeze now (can’t promise 😉) and little brother might try to sneak his way in for a sleepover with how comfortable that new bed is 😴

Shout out to That 1 Painter Quad Cities for helping us get those walls nice and pretty and a huge THANK YOU to Nancy Klemme for helping us make this room absolutely perfect.

We always enjoy bringing JOY to our amazing community, but it becomes extra special when amazing people in our community go out of their way to help us carry out that JOY. 💚

💚 Ripley 💚

Ripley turned 4 TODAY! Happy Happy Happy Birthday sweet girl!!! 🥳

Meet our newest Jordan’s Joy kiddo. Isn’t she adorable? 🥰

Ripley has acute lymphoblastic leukemia and has been a brave and tough little girl over the last 2 years of treatments.

Ripley loves Spidey and friends, princesses, coloring and Party Animal baseball (We do too!).

Bringing JOY to Ripley is going to be so much FUN! 💚👍🏼

💚 Taryn 💚

Taryn is a high schooler that loves going fast! Take her wheelchair for a spin (thanks to her older brothers 😉), fly around the corners at the go-cart track or just riding in vehicles… this girl loves to move! She is also a cheerleader for a local high school and is loved by her school community 🥰. How cool is that!?

Taryn has a medical condition called Rett Syndrome. Rett Syndrome is a severe neurological disorder. Symptoms and their severity vary greatly from child to child.

We were so lucky to visit with Taryn and her mom recently. It always warms our heart knowing that the community is already bringing JOY to Taryn and her family 💚 Jordan’s Joy is excited to join in on helping keep the JOY moving!
