Holiday Hearts

Help us deliver LOVE and JOY to children with cancer during the holidays!

Imagine you have a child going through intensive cancer treatment. The emotional and financial impact is staggering. Your family’s finances are challenged, and you don’t have time to do anything else other than take care of your sick child. That’s where a generous donor like you can help!

Holiday Hearts, Jacob’s Heart’s Adopt-a-Family Program, aims to alleviate some of the stress brought on by pediatric cancer by delivering personalized gifts, gift cards, holiday meals, and hope to the doorsteps of families experiencing these unimaginable challenges.

Your donation of $150 adopts one child, $300 adopts a family of two, and $600 adopts a family of four.

3.Purchase $25 gift cards
Purchase gift cards from any gas station, Target, Safeway, or Walmart, and we’ll share your donation with families in need. Mail or bring gift cards to the Jacob’s Heart Family Center—680 West Beach Street, Watsonville, CA 95076—and we’ll deliver these cards to families who need them the most.
