The Jordan Thomas Foundation is a non-profit foundation, 501(c)3, that accepts donations to directly help children receive the prostheses that they need to lead normal, active, and healthy lives. 

Application to be a recipient is based on documented financial need, and doctors and prosthesists are required to provide documentation as well.  100% of gifts go to benefit children.  The foundation estimates that it will need $100,000-$120,000 for each recipient to provide them with prostheses through age 18.  We like to have most of these funds in the bank before we choose a new recipient as part of good stewardship practices.  Administrative costs are being covered by one donor family along with some dividend income.

The foundation tax-id is: 20-3498598.

The foundation has an active board of 12 community leaders that meets regularly to assure that every gift is stewarded to its utmost. For a list of current board members, click here.

Thank you for considering partnering with Jordan to help kids get the arms and legs that they need to lead lives without crutches or wheelchairs.

P. S. The foundation also sells bracelets to raise money for children recovering from traumatic injury. The bracelets are $5.00 each with a $2.50 shipping charge per order.  Please send us a note with your contribution data, stating that you are ordering a certain number of bracelets.

The bracelets are imprinted with the phrase “Press On JT.” This slogan came from Larry Coker, the Head football coach at the University of Miami. Coach Coker visited me when I was in the hospital at the Ryder Trauma Center at Jackson Memorial Hospital, and he encouraged me to “Press On.” This phrase prompted a good friend of mine to send me this passage from the Bible:

We are pressed on every side by troubles, but we are not crushed and broken. We are perplexed because we don’t know why things happen as the do, but we don’t give up and quit. We are hunted down, but God never abandons us. We get knocked down, but we get up again and keep going.

- 2 Corinthians 4:8-9
