Samantha and Jake Foundation 4 Hope Jennifer Abney WPDE interview😍‼️
I was trying to get a clip where the end is not cut off with our website but no luck. But this was a very special day for me. Jennifer was so kind and ofc we spoke way longer than this interview- about Sam and Jake and how amazing they are, watching videos of them and laughing, telling the story of how our foundation was founded - by my hubby on a Pickleball court with only 14 friends and 2 strangers so that I could keep their memories alive by giving to other children in need 🦋
So far we have raised over $35,000 🤩 and have given out 18 Everyday Wishes as well as supporting local nonprofits with their missions. ❤️
Our website is www.Samanthaandjake.org.
Please take a look, read Sam and Jake’s story, check out our fundraisers, donate or nominate a local child for their own Everyday Wish. Whether special needs, foster or just a kid in need… we still have more joy to spread - Samantha and Jake style😊💙
