The Jimmy J Fund

Donation protected


Jimmy was a vibrant, energetic 15 year-old young man who loved his family, the beach and the family dog, Piper. His infectious grin and deep brown eyes would soften even the hardest of hearts.

Tragically his life was cut short when the motorcycle on which he was a passenger hit an oncoming car that abruptly turned in front of them. Both the motorcycle driver and Jimmy were thrown over the car and onto the road.

Although Jimmy's extensive injuries did not allow him to live, his parents donated his organs to provide the gift of life to others.

The family has no medical insurance and Jim, as the sole breadwinner of the family, is between sales jobs and has had his own series of health challenges over the past year. With medical bills stacking up, a burial and a host of upcoming incidentals, the Januska family needs our prayers and financial support. 

If you would like to send gift cards or notes of encouragement, you may contact the Januska family here:
