Jayda’s Heart Foundation was created in memory of Jayda Amani Anderson
Our Mission
Jayda’s Heart Foundation is a nonprofit organization that is committed to providing emotional, and financial support to families of children who have been diagnosed with chronic illnesses and/or disabilities.
Our History
Raven Callis, Founder of Jayda’s Heart Foundation navigated the healthcare system while watching her first child succumb to a chronic illness. In the aftermath of this tragedy, she began to translate her grief into action by supporting others in the community who were also navigating the complexities of life with a chronically ill/disabled child. Raven, has empathy not just for the pain parents are enduring, but for the strain that the financial obligations can place on families.
Raven’s experience puts Jayda’s Heart Foundation in a unique position to address the issue of emotionally and financially supporting families of children with chronic illness or disabilities.
