Jayda’s Heart Foundation was created in memory of Jayda Amani Anderson

Our Mission

Jayda’s Heart Foundation is a nonprofit organization committed to providing emotional support, financial assistance, and essential resources to families of medically complex children. Through compassion, structured programs, and community partnerships, we help families navigate care with dignity, stability, and resilience.

Our History

Jayda’s Heart Foundation was founded by Raven Callis after navigating the healthcare system during the life and loss of her first child. Experiencing firsthand the emotional weight and financial strain that families endure, she made the decision to transform grief into purpose.

In the aftermath of her loss, Raven began supporting other families facing similar journeys. She understands that behind every diagnosis is a family adjusting to hospital visits, care coordination, financial pressure, and emotional exhaustion.

Her lived experience places Jayda’s Heart Foundation in a unique position to provide compassionate, practical support to families caring for medically complex children. The foundation exists not only to ease financial burdens, but to ensure families feel seen, supported, and strengthened through every stage of their journey.
