✨ Thanksgiving at JW House ✨

Last week, our kitchen was filled with warmth, gratitude, and the delicious aromas of a true home-cooked Thanksgiving meal. 🧡

A HUGE thank you to Kristen, our Fund Development Director, and Anastaciia who lovingly cooked two turkeys for our families staying with us.

Dinner was complete with every comforting classic — sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes, stuffing, cranberries, rolls, pumpkin pie, pecan pie, bundt cake, and the crowd-favorite “Moana’s” Jiffy Cornbread Casserole. 🥧

And of course, none of this would be possible without our incredible volunteers and supporters who donated ingredients, cooked dishes, set the table, and helped make Thanksgiving feel a little more like home for families facing medical crises.

From all of us at JW House, thank you for helping us bring comfort, warmth, and togetherness to families when they need it most. We couldn’t do this without you. 🏡

Help Feed Every Family at JW House for the Rest of the Year 💙

This Giving Tuesday, we’re setting a powerful goal: Raise $12,000 to ensure EVERY family who walks through our doors is fed for the rest of 2025. 🎉

No family should face a medical crisis hungry — and together, we can make sure they don’t. Families staying at JW House are facing some of life’s hardest moments — long hospital days, overwhelming medical decisions, and the stress of caring for someone they love. A warm meal shouldn’t be one more thing they have to worry about.

Your gift = comfort, strength & stability 🏠
A meal may seem small, but for caregivers spending long days and nights at the hospital, it’s hope. It’s relief. It’s one less thing to worry about when everything feels overwhelming.

And there’s BIG news… 🚨
Thanks to the generosity of The Moca Foundation, all gifts in December will be matched up to $7,500 — DOUBLING your impact for families in crisis.

That means:
✅ Your $25 becomes $50
✅ Your $100 becomes $200
✅ Your generosity feeds twice as many families

Let’s make sure no family goes hungry while caring for the ones they love. 💙

🌟 HENNESSEY FAMILY UPDATE 🌟

Today, we’re celebrating an incredible milestone with the Hennessy family. 💛

After 162 days away from home, Sarah was officially discharged this week—having reached all of her treatment goals, including weight restoration and full meal completion. She even slept in her own bed for the first time since Father’s Day. 🏡

Sarah will continue her journey with outpatient care, and we are so proud of her strength, resilience, and the hard work that led her here. Her progress is nothing short of inspiring. 💪

At JW House, families like the Hennessey's find rest, stability, and support during life’s most overwhelming moments—and stories like Sarah’s are possible because of you.

💙 Your generosity provides comfort when families need it most.
💙 Your support gives caregivers strength to keep going.

🍪 Cookie Appreciation Time! 🍪

We love surprising our community partners with homemade cookie platters as a small “thank you” for the big ways they support our mission — and this month’s treats were extra special.

A huge shoutout to Alma Rodgers, one of our most consistent donors, volunteers, and a wonderful supporter through the ADK Sorority, for baking and donating these beautiful cookie platters! 💛

This month’s recipients:

🔧 All Temperature Service — who partnered with Prometheus to repair our HVAC system and clean the house’s air vents. Your work keeps our home comfortable and safe for every family who walks through our doors.

🎄 Holiday Lights — once again bringing joy to JW House by installing our outdoor Christmas lights! You help make the season brighter — literally.

We’re so grateful for these incredible partners. Thank you for helping us care for families when they need it most. 💙

🍪💙 Bellarmine College Preparatory Students Lend a Hand at JW House! 💙🍪

Last weekend, a group of students from Bellarmine College Prep spent their Saturday baking fresh cookies for our guest families and helping us take down and clean up all of our Halloween decorations.

Not only did they bring delicious treats — they brought energy, teamwork, and genuine kindness. 💪🎃✨

We are so grateful for our continued partnership with Bellarmine and are constantly inspired by how their students step up to serve our families with compassion and heart.

Thank you, Bellarmine! Your service makes JW House feel even more like home. 💛

✨ You care for them, while we care for you. ✨

Earlier this year, 19-year-old Sarah Hennessey collapsed into life-threatening illness. Flu A → Pneumonia → Strep A → Sepsis. Her heart function dropped to 25%, and she was airlifted to Santa Clara for life-saving care. Months of treatment followed — including a spinal stroke and a near-fatal battle with malnutrition — but Sarah fought back with strength and courage. 🥰

While her family cared for her, JW House cared for them.

Warm meals after 12-hour ICU days.
A bed when they weren’t sure where they’d sleep.
A community that reminded them they weren’t alone.

Families like the Hennessys inspire everything we do, and now we need your support. 💙

A generous donor will MATCH all gifts up to $25,000, doubling your impact.

➡️ Your $50 becomes $100
➡️ Your $100 becomes $200

Your generosity gives families comfort, dignity, and hope during the hardest moments of their lives.

JW House

JW House keeps families together during medical crisis by offering a welcoming home close to the hospital and providing a caring and compassionate environment that inspires hope.

Located on the campus of Kaiser Permanente Santa Clara Medical Center, JW House welcomes families and individuals from area hospitals into our family for rest and self-care during the day or overnight while their loved one is in the hospital.

No family should be separated when they need each other the most.
