When Katie King, Addie’s mom, chose to donate Addie’s wheelchair after she outgrew it, she probably didn’t imagine how many lives it would touch.

That wheelchair was passed on to Maddie Jo, and for years it gave her the freedom to move, explore, and experience the world in ways she couldn’t before.

A few years later, Maddie Jo outgrew it too.

Today, because of the continued generosity of families who choose to give, Joy Project Network, alongside If You Love Me Foundation, was able to give little Emanuel, that same wheelchair, restoring mobility and independence once again.

This is exactly why Meagan and Jeremy founded Joy Project Network — to make the impossible possible. Through donors here at home, we are able to create life-changing impact both locally and internationally, spreading joy far beyond what one family could ever imagine.

As we approach the end of the year, if you’re looking for a place to make your year-end giving, please consider organizations like ours or If You Love Me Foundation. We are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, and your generosity helps ensure that no piece of equipment — and no child — goes without hope.

Today, as schools across the Big Country and the surrounding areas open their doors for a new academic year, we pause to acknowledge the profound ache felt by parents whose children are not here to take that first-day photo, sling on a backpack, or walk into a classroom.

The first day of school is often filled with excitement and anticipation, but for bereaved parents, it can be a poignant reminder of what could have been. The absence of a child is felt deeply on days like today, when milestones are marked and memories are made.

In honor of the children who are forever in our hearts, we invite you to share a favorite photo of your beloved child—perhaps one from a past first day of school or a candid moment that captures their spirit. By sharing these cherished images, we celebrate their lives and the indelible impact they've had on our world.

Let us come together as a community to support one another, to remember, and to find solace in shared memories. Your child's story matters, and their memory lives on in the hearts of all who knew and loved them.

If you feel comfortable, please share your photo and a favorite memory in the comments below. Together, we can create a tapestry of remembrance and love that honors each child's unique journey.

Be the light. 💡 💚

🆘 Urgent – Bath Chair Needed ASAP for a Terminally Ill Child 🆘

We have a vendor quote for $349, and the chair is purchase-ready—as soon as we raise the funds. Insurance won't process it in time, so we're turning to our community for help.
If you have this type of chair and are located in Wichita Falls, DFW, Lubbock, or Abilene, we can arrange pick up.

If you can’t donate in-kind, a quick $349 in monetary donations would enable us to buy the chair today. (We already have the quote from the vendor and are ready to order immediately once the funds are in hand.)
