Hearts Like Hayley Jade

01/02/2026

As we reflect on the last year, we cannot say thank you enough to everyone who has followed along on our journey and helped us to continue Hayley’s legacy and memory through Hearts Like Hayley Jade.

This year alone, we’ve had successful fundraisers, we had an amazing first annual softball tournament, we had so much support in givebacks, and we teamed up with a new business (and two very special ladies) to create our foundation merchandise. We’ve received support from our community, from businesses, healthcare workers, from those who know and love Hayley, and from those who didn’t know her personally, but who she has brought joy too, even to this day.

Through this support we were able to give back nearly $10,000 between the big things like giving to medically complex families, scholarships for future nurses, and a huge birthday and Christmas giveback to support kiddos and those who help care for them as well to the little things we do that are just random acts of kindness in honor of Hayley Jade.

And all of this because of Hayley. This work is not easy. I am so thankful to be able to do this and to give back and to continue Hayley’s legacy, but I’ll be honest, I was doing a lot of these things prior to losing Hayley and I’d give it all up to have Hayley back in an instant!

BUT doing this work is a blessing in SO many ways that I could never even describe. I am able to sit with families and try to lighten their load a tiny bit. I’m able to help people with dreams of becoming a nurse and helping kids like Hayley pursue those dreams. I am able to give back to incredible organizations that I have witnessed first hand go above and beyond to care for kids just like they did for Hayley. And that’s the goal. Our goal and our mission is to help others in any way we can, and all because of and for Hayley Jade! And I wouldn’t be able to do any of that without all the support we receive from every person along on this journey with us.

It’s been a blessing to give back all we have been able to this year, and while we go into 2026 with heavy hearts because our HayHay isn’t here with us, we also enter 2026 with hopeful hearts, because the impact Hearts Like Hayley Jade can and is going to make is going to incredible! Stay along for the ride…so many exciting things coming! And enjoy this flashback from my sweet baby’s first New Years! Her joy will always be contagious and we will spread that joy in all we do!

Merry Christmas to our Hearts Like Hayley Jade family.

We’re missing our girl desperately today, but in the many things she taught us, one was to value the time we have and we’re using that time to spread only good things, just like our angel girl. Her sissy’s only request was to release balloons with her so of course we did.

Hold those you love tight today; there’s nothing i wouldn’t to hug her tight and spend one more Christmas with her 💜🤍

Holidays are really hard, but giving back is helpful. Delivering some goodies to some of our favorite nurses and healthcare workers working Christmas Eve tonight (and of course some of the kiddos too). For our angel girl, always 🤍

First Christmas giveback delivery TODAY!!!! The only sneak peek I’ll be giving until all delivery’s are made is this. The front of “Hayley’s Box”. The most important of all.

“If you open this box, you might just notice some toys.
But if you look deep inside you’ll see the things that brought Hayley Jade the most joy.

Whether it be for a visit, at home, or an inpatient stay,
These were her favorite things that brightened her days.

These are the very things that would have filled her stocking this year.
But unfortunately, she’ll be celebrating in heaven and not here.

So when you give out these toys or play them with friends
Please think of Hayley Jade and all the love I know she still sends.

These toys made a difference for her everyday,
But the true difference is the one you make which we could never repay.

There’s plenty of boxes of gifts to unpack,
But this one is the most special, the real reason we are giving back.

Because this box is full of things that made Hayley smile,
Even if she wasn’t here for a long while.

But her smile was perfect, her giggle the best.
She would be so happy to see kids continue to be blessed.

And speaking of blessed, she was a true blessing to all.
So please remember her smile when you feel like your impact is small.

So when you open this box, and the other ones too,
Please remember Hayley Jade and how much we appreciate all of you.”

And no worries, you just have to wait one more week to see the impact we are making, our biggest one yet, but my heart is so happy knowing the amount of kids who are going to be blessed. So we’ll be off soon for the first delivery to be made, and everything and always because of my Hayley Jade 💜

So thankful for our wonderful community who came out to support us tonight and for our local Dairy Queen for kindly hosting us. I sat there tonight reminiscing on the times I had been there with Hayley before (and most of those she would cover her face with her blankie so no one would bother her 🤪) and about how different things look now, but in all of it she continues to be a blessing. That’s pretty special.

We also found out right before tonight’s event that our foundation was chosen by the Ephraim & Wilma Shaw Roseman foundation for a very generous donation! Such a blessing.

We are so thankful for the support to be able to give back to others in Hayley’s name! Miss my girl so much but thankful to be able to celebrate, honor, and remember her💜
