Out-of-area treatment is a financial burden in more ways than one. Jack’s Assistance Program supports families by helping with transportation, food and housing costs so they can travel to the right medical facility for their child. If your family has these needs, please download an application on our website!

Earlier this year, Sigma Nu Cal Poly - Kappa Pi Chapter's hosted their Annual Ducky Derby and raised over $5,000 for Jack's Helping Hand! Thank you, Sigma Nu for your ongoing support and including us in this great event!

Every month, we highlight a child so you can hear about the wonderful children that we help in our community. This month we would like you to meet Claire! Claire is 1 1/2 years old and was born with Spina Bifida, a spinal cord difficulty, and hydrocephalus. Claire has a common problem related to Spina Bifida, clubbing of the feet. Claire is spirited and content, by definition in a state of peaceful happiness. She loves to play peekaboo and laugh. She is almost always dancing and usually singing. Claire is serious about her toys and snacks: she is quick to yell “mine” if her sister tries to take her toy and Claire will always respond to the offer of snacks with an enthusiastic “YEAH.” She loves to laugh and play with her big sister. And if her sister is sitting next to her Claire does not miss the opportunity to pull her in for a kiss. "We are SO VERY thankful to Jack’s for providing assistance for Claire’s casting appointments and surgery to straighten her club feet. Since we were able to attend these appointments Claire’s surgery was half the time than originally scheduled and only required 2 incisions instead of 4. We are loving watching Claire explore and enjoy her newly straightened feet (and having a break from doctor appointments)." -Claire's Mom

"One of Club K’s most ambitious programs provides children of all abilities and special needs the lifelong gift of water skills, basic water safety and play. We are so grateful for Jack’s Helping Hand’s financial support and the staff’s devotion to this program. The joy and sense of accomplishment it brings to children in our community, who might not otherwise have the opportunity for warm water, adaptive sessions is immeasurable. Thank you!
