Heather Vavra, the board president of Helpful Hearts Foundation is extremely passionate about this amazing cause and accepted a check for $5,000 from JKMF board member Robin Kelley.  

Wednesday, November 3rd, 2021 marks the 3-year anniversary of the unspeakable tragedy that took Jayna, Autumn, Haylee, and Sara from us so suddenly.  The Jayna Kelley Memorial Foundation is dedicated to preserving the memory of our beloved Jayna and making the world a better place in her honor.  Over the 8 days leading up to the 3rd, Jayna’s 2021 gifts to the world will be announced.  Each of the 6 foundation board members, along with Jayna’s sister Terra, were asked to help us spread the available funds in order to make a broad impact on the community.  We can’t wait to show everyone how Jayna is continuing to improve MANY lives by her foundation’s support of 10 local causes!  She couldn’t have done this without the amazing generosity of so many people.  Thank you!!

Helpful Hearts Foundation – $5,000

The Helpful Hearts Foundation is an organization that helps families who have experienced the unspeakable loss of a child and cannot provide the finances necessary to pay for merchandise such as a casket, cemetery plot, headstone, urn, vault and third party fees.  Brian and Robin Kelley know first hand the kind of costs associated with burying a child and are so grateful they were able to have things taken care of when so many don’t have that luxury.  Helpful Hearts reaches families in Chippewa County, Eau Claire County and six other counties in the surrounding area.
