Live Like Jojo Foundation

Every step, every journey-providing families with hope, joy and comfort. 💚

The Live Like Jojo Foundation is a nonprofit organization, whose mission is to infuse joy and enrich the lives of local children impacted by chronic healthcare challenges.

For the fifth year in a row, we had the honor of speaking with 3rd-year medical students, nursing students, faculty, and healthcare professionals at Loma Linda University about one of the most sacred aspects of healthcare: caring for children and families at end of life.

Following the presentation, we participated in a panel discussion where healthcare providers, educators, and Live Like Jojo Foundation leadership shared perspectives on compassionate pediatric end-of-life care and the impact of the JOJO Blanket Program.

The conversation focused on the comfort, dignity, and love these blankets bring to children and families during life’s most difficult moments, while also helping future healthcare providers understand the profound role they play in these sacred experiences.

One message resonated throughout the discussion: families never forget how they were cared for.

The words spoken, the kindness shown, and the simple act of being present can leave a lasting impact far beyond the hospital room. In moments of profound heartbreak, empathy, compassion, and human connection matter deeply.

We are incredibly grateful to Loma Linda University for the opportunity to partner in educating and empowering the next generation of physicians, nurses, and healthcare professionals. Thank you for continuing to create space for these important conversations.

The first-ever Live Like JoJo Fundraiser Dinner was more than an event-it was the beginning of a movement. ✨

A night centered on connection, compassion, hope, and the shared belief that pediatric end-of-life care can feel more human, more supportive, and more filled with dignity for children and families navigating unimaginable journeys.

To everyone who attended, donated, supported, shared, and believed in this mission: THANK YOU. Your generosity and support are helping us build something far greater than a single evening.

We are just getting started, and we cannot wait to share what’s next.

Follow us and share for more!

This week, 25 Sunshine Bags were delivered to the ER at Providence Mission Hospital. ☀️

A huge thank you to Rachel Woidneck, one of our incredible LLJJ ambassadors, for helping make this delivery happen, and for also coordinating the recent Miller Children’s drop as well. Your heart for serving others continues to spread so much light and comfort to families during difficult moments.

Small acts of kindness can make a big impact.

Our very first Live Like JoJo Fundraiser Dinner.

What started as an idea rooted in love, compassion, and purpose became a room filled with extraordinary people coming together to support the future of pediatric end-of-life care.

Every conversation, every connection, and every act of generosity reminded us what’s possible when a community shows up with heart.

Thank you for being part of such a meaningful evening and for believing in the Live Like JoJo mission. Your presence is already helping create meaningful change for children, families, and the healthcare professionals who walk beside them every day.

This is only the beginning.

Stay tuned - there is more ahead! ✨

Volunteer Spotlight! ⭐️

Tyana has a special connection to the Live Like Jojo Foundation. she knew Jojo years ago, as her family once shared the same church community. When Tyana reconnected with the Clines 5 years ago, she didn’t hesitate to get involved.

Since then, she’s been incredible: showing up whenever she can, helping at events, and filling Sunshine Boxes with so much care and love. And she does all of this while being a hardworking single mom.

Tyana, we see you. We appreciate you. And we’re so grateful you’re part of this community. ✨🙌🏻🫶⭐️

End-of-life care…the meaning behind a JOJO blanket…and the impact they carry long after a hospital stay ends. ❤️‍🩹 Thank you for sharing your powerful story with us.

“When Bradley was in the hospital, we received a blanket with a sea turtle on it. At first, it seemed like just a blanket-something to keep him warm and comforted in the middle of those long, heavy days. But over time, it came to mean so much more.

The sea turtle, to me is a symbol of hope, strength, and guidance. Just like the turtle drifts with the currents yet always finds its way, we felt that same quiet reassurance as Bradley held onto it. It became more than fabric and thread-it was a reminder that no matter how uncertain the waters, there is always a current guiding us forward.

Now, that very blanket rests on our living room couch. Every time we see it, we remember not just the hospital days, but the love, comfort, and hope it carried with it. It’s a piece of Bradley’s journey that has come home with us, a reminder that even in life’s hardest moments, there are symbols of light and direction.

This blanket will always be more than just a blanket-it is a part of Bradley’s story, and a part of ours.”

With gratitude and love,
Josette
Bradley’s mom

Thank you, Josette, for your words. We are humbled to have met you in that sacred space, honoring Bradley’s life and protecting the moments that now live on as forever memories.

There is a gap in healthcare, and Live Like JoJo is standing in that gap-bringing compassion, presence, and humanity back to the moments that matter most. ❤️‍🩹
