Jai's Heart Inc.

Jai's Heart Inc. Jaiโ€™s Heart Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit created from heartbreak and purpose. This is more than help. This is heart. ๐Ÿ’›

We pour into youth through mentorship, scholarships, and real outreach while turning pain into power and loss into legacy.

04/18/2026

This year has been one of the hardest Iโ€™ve faced since losing Jaiโ€™.

Even in the weight of that, my heart to give hasnโ€™t changed. If anything, itโ€™s grown stronger.

I still see the visionโ€ฆ for our youth, for those experiencing homelessness, for communities that just need someone to care enough to act.

But Iโ€™ve come to a place of honesty. I canโ€™t carry this alone anymore.

As Jaiโ€™s mother and the founder of Jaiโ€™s Heart, Iโ€™m ready to accept help.

If youโ€™ve ever felt led to be a part of something meaningfulโ€ฆ this is that moment.

Whether itโ€™s your time, your skills, your resources, or simply your willingness to show upโ€ฆ Iโ€™m open.

Letโ€™s build something that truly makes a difference, together. ๐Ÿ’›

I want to start by apologizing for not posting much lately ๐Ÿค
Life has been moving fast, and Iโ€™ve been focused on doing the work even when Iโ€™m quiet.

This snow really caught us off guard โ„๏ธ

I had planned to give out sleeping bags this past weekend, and it didnโ€™t happen the way I hoped. But the mission didnโ€™t stop. I still plan to set a day to get this done.๐Ÿ™๐Ÿฝ

I may not be able to help everyone, but my prayer is that someone can find warmth. That a couple can fit together in a sleeping bag, and rest knowing they are not forgotten.

This is the heart of Jaiโ€™s Heart. Showing up for people in real, practical ways ๐Ÿค

As this work continues, Iโ€™m also looking for active members who are willing to be part of this mission. I have several things going, and this work is deeply personal. This is the heart of my sonโ€™s legacy ๐Ÿ’›

Help is needed, but only if you truly have a heart for others. Not for recognition. Not for credit. Just compassion and consistency.

And as we move forward together, itโ€™s almost time for the 2nd Annual Jaiโ€™s Heart 7v7 Football Game ๐Ÿˆ
More details coming soon.

Thank you to everyone who continues to support, pray, and walk alongside this mission โญ
