Happy New Year 2014!

We start the New Year reflecting how far we have come in our journey of finding hope again, and continuing to honor the lives of Jeremy and Jean. The journey has not always been easy, but almost always successful. Through hard work, with a team of fearless volunteers, supporters, generous donors, and of course heartache and tears... we ended 2013 standing stronger than ever, and we are eager to help many more teens Experience Hope!

In 2013 JSRF sent a total of 10 teens to various camps. Six teens attended resident camps in Michigan and Wisconsin, and four teens attended Hoopsters Basketball Camp. The cost to send one teen for 2 weeks of resident camp ranges from $1,100- $1,500.

To be a candidate for resident camp by JSRF the teen must be between the ages of 13-18; the family must be financially under-resourced; and the teen must have no prior resident camp experience. If you know of a teen that can benefit from this great opportunity please contact us at [email protected].

If you would like to organize an event for JSRF please contact us at [email protected] or 847-438-8058.

Wishing each of you a healthy, prosperous and peaceful 2014.

Peace, Love, & Gratitude,

Ciri, Scott & Sayra Stom
