JC Fundraising andJCF Mexicofounder Jaden has been living in Mexico for about 6 months now and says “I am moved every day by the amount of uncared for animals here. I have 2 rescue dogs of my own and I so wish I could do more to help but its not easy in rented accommodation. We always carry a bag of dried food in the trunk of our car but its not enough.

I want to do more, so I’m hoping to raise enough funds to purchase some land here and to build some shelters to house street dogs. The money left over will help me to purchase food and water and also vet costs as I hope to castrate and spay all the dogs I rescue when possible.

This is a big thing to undertake but every day I see so many street dogs and then I look at my dogs who have a lovely home and cuddles and food and water and shelter and toys and chew sticks and and and

We welcome classical-crossover solo artist Mary-Jess Leaverland as a new friend of JC Fundraising.

Mary-Jess has been a past winner of the X-Factor in China, toured with Russell Watson, performed with Sir Tim Rice and Don Black and was chosen to sing the Downton Abbey theme tune.

Mary-Jess has recently teamed up with our own Jaden Cornelious on the title track of his new album “Hold On To Me” with a version of their song being made available shortly on our Music with Meaning downloads page with funds raised going to Mary-Jess’s nominated charity The Door Youth Project.

In March 2016 the JCF West London team supported an event to raise funds and awareness for an illness named Ataxia. At this event manager Julia Romp was privileged to meet a 9 year old boy called Tyler who was there along with his family. Tyler has been diagnosed with Freidreichs Ataxia (FRDA)which is a disease of the central nervous system.

The symptoms of FRDAinclude difficulty withbalance (disequilibrium), impaired coordination of legs or arms and a thick or slurred speech (dysarthria). Besides having these symptoms Tyler also has cardiomyopathy of his heart and scoliosis. He has gone from being a normally functioning young boy to a lad that can only move if supported bya family member, crawling, or his regular push along wheelchair.

JCF has been told that that it will cost in the region of 6,000 to fit Tyler with a purposebuilt electric wheelchair which will enhance his life, so much so that it is the aim of Julia and theJCF London team to help Tyler and his family make a considerable dent in their fundraising target.

If youwould liketogive toTyler’s wheelchair appealpleaseclick on the”Donate” buttonbelow to donate via PayPal, Credit Card or Debit Card where 100% of whatwe receivewill go to help buy Tyler his wheelchair.

Many thanks in anticipation of your help.
