Support Jordyn's Light: Pregnancy & Infant Loss Support

Donation protected
My name is Angela Jessie, the proprietor and licensed massage therapist at Massage is Life, LLC. On August 5, 2020, I experienced the profound loss of my daughter Jordyn, a deeply challenging ordeal that continues to affect me. Throughout my grief journey, I discovered solace in aiding others, finding that supporting them also aids my healing process.

Two years ago, I initiated the provision of Grief Massages specifically tailored for mothers contending with the loss of pregnancy and infants within my massage practice. Initially intended to assist fellow "angel mamas," my aspirations transcended this initial effort as I yearned to extend further support. Over the past 7-8 months, I dedicated significant contemplation to the establishment of a nonprofit organization, envisioning a platform to aid families in need. This contemplation culminated in the inception of Jordyn's Light. In the recent month, I commenced the operational activities, including the pursuit of official recognition as a 501(c)3 entity, website development, compilation of resources for families, and the planning of forthcoming events and support gatherings.

All funds raised from this Gofundme campaign will go towards covering various startup costs and to cover expenses for our inaugural fundraising event. This includes office equipment, marketing materials, vendor setup supplies, initial memory box items, a Zoom subscription for virtual support groups, purchase books to create a library of grief support books and more.

Mission Statement
"At Jordyn’s Light, our mission is to provide unwavering support to families navigating the difficult journey of pregnancy and infant loss. Established in memory of Jordyn Lee Whitt, our foundation is dedicated to offering empathetic assistance and resources to families confronting this profound loss. Our array of programs, such as complimentary or reduced-cost grief massages, personalized memory boxes, support groups, aid with burial or urn expenses, and engagement in community outreach, aim to create a nurturing environment for healing and solace. By honoring Jordyn and all angel babies, we strive to empower families, fostering strength, solace, and resilience on their path to healing."
