It is that time of year again, MC Gives officially launches today! 🌟

This year, our big idea focuses on our Full Hearts program. In the last month, our Full Hearts program grew from supporting 80 families to 121 and from sending out 155 grocery bags to now 220. Right now, food insecurity is on the rise and we are amping up our grocery program in order to help as much as we can. Our families are already focused on helping their child battle cancer, we want to make sure they don’t have to also worry about keeping food on the table.🥗💜

From now until December 31st, every dollar you give to our MC Gives campaign goes directly to Jacob’s Heart and generates matching funds to double your impact! Your support will go even farther and provide even more support for our grocery program. ✨

Our second highlight for our behavioral health program is super sibling Jesus! ✨

Jesus is the oldest brother to one of our kiddos Bridget, their family has been with Jacob’s Heart since 2017. Jesus is also a part of our teen group at Jacob’s Heart and recently began counseling sessions through our behavioral health program. In his sessions, Jesus and his clinician have been using video game therapy, a creative approach to building trust and connection, and something we started this year at Jacob’s Heart. Through this shared activity, he has been able to open up and overcome personal challenges. At our teen group, he has been able to have new experiences and make new friends, helping him step outside of his comfort zone. ❤️

Jesus says these services have changed his life, helping him be less shy and isolated. Without these services, he would not be able to have a safe space to talk and grow as an individual. We are grateful that we have been a part of Jesus’s journey in this growth. 🌟

Translation:
¡Nuestro segundo aspecto destacado del programa de salud conductual es el súper hermano Jesús!

Jesús es el hermano mayor de Bridget, una de nuestras niñas atendidas. Su familia ha estado vinculada a Jacob's Heart desde 2017. Jesús también forma parte de nuestro grupo de adolescentes en Jacob's Heart y recientemente comenzó sesiones de terapia a través de nuestro programa de salud mental. En sus sesiones, Jesús y su terapeuta han estado utilizando la terapia con videojuegos, un enfoque creativo para formar la confianza y la conexión, algo que implementamos este año en Jacob's Heart. Gracias a esta actividad compartida, ha podido abrirse y superar desafíos personales. En nuestro grupo de adolescentes, ha tenido nuevas experiencias y ha hecho nuevos amigos, lo que le ha ayudado a salir de su zona de confort.

Jesús dice que estos servicios le han cambiado la vida, ayudándole a ser menos tímido y solitario. Sin ellos, no tendría un espacio seguro para hablar y crecer como persona. Agradecemos haber formado parte de su camino de crecimiento.

Over the next four weeks, we are excited to highlight the incredible kiddos, siblings, and families whose lives have been touched by our behavioral health program!🌟

Did you know that about 42% of Gen Z Americans say they are currently in therapy? This is a 22% increase since 2022 (Harmony Healthcare IT, 2025). We see this happening at Jacob’s Heart with our teen group and counseling. Which is why this week, we’re spotlighting one of our amazing young adults, Lucy, who has been with Jacob’s Heart since 2019. 💗

Lucy has received support through our behavioral health program and has also taken part in our teen group. Through our teen group, she’s met new people and formed lasting friendships, helping her realize she’s not alone in her journey. Counseling has given her a safe space to talk openly about what she’s been through with someone who truly understands. Lucy says these sessions have helped her grow into a better person, changing her perspective on the world for the better after going through cancer treatment. ✨
“Jacob’s Heart is amazing, I feel like I have a second family with them.”

We are so grateful to be a part of Lucy’s journey and can’t wait to continue to cheer her on! 🩷

¡Durante las próximas cuatro semanas, nos emocionamos destacar a los increíbles niños, hermanos y familias cuyas vidas se han visto transformadas por nuestro programa de salud mental!

¿Sabías que alrededor del 42% de los estadounidenses de la Generación Z afirman estar actualmente en terapia? Esto supone un aumento del 22% desde 2022 (Harmony Healthcare IT, 2025). En Jacob’s Heart vemos que esto sucede con nuestro grupo de adolescentes y las sesiones de consejería. Por eso, esta semana destacamos a una de nuestras jóvenes increíbles, Lucy, quien forma parte de Jacob’s Heart desde 2019.

Lucy ha recibido apoyo a través de nuestro programa de salud mental y también ha participado en nuestro grupo para adolescentes. Gracias a este grupo, ha conocido gente nueva y ha forjado amistades duraderas, lo que le ha ayudado a darse cuenta de que no está sola en su proceso. La terapia le ha brindado un espacio seguro para hablar abiertamente sobre lo que ha vivido con alguien que realmente la comprende. Lucy dice que estas sesiones la han ayudado a convertirse en una mejor persona, cambiando su perspectiva del mundo para bien después de su tratamiento contra el cáncer.

“Jacob’s Heart es increíble, siento que tengo una segunda familia con ellos.”

Estamos muy agradecidos de ser parte del camino de Lucy y ¡estamos deseando seguir apoyándola!

“Jacob’s Heart brought joy back into our home and gave Yami and her siblings a Christmas they will never forget.” ❤️

When you adopt a family this holiday season, you are bringing joy to Jacob’s Heart families’ homes during a time of uncertainty. When Yamilet was diagnosed with Leukemia in 2024, her family was thrown down a path with an uncertain ending. That holiday season was filled with many emotions for her family. With the support of amazing donors like YOU, their wishlist was fulfilled allowing them to have an amazing Christmas. ✨ Yamilet’s parents did not have to worry about how to get gifts for their children, they focused on spending time together. ❤️🎄
