Mission Statement

Our nonprofit organization, Jaclynn’s Wish Inc., was created in remembrance of Jaclynn Smith, an amazing young woman, daughter, sister, and friend who was diagnosed with triple-negative breast cancer at the age of 29. Following countless treatments and surgeries, she eventually went into remission. Unfortunately, the cancer returned, and despite additional treatments and surgeries, the disease took her life just after her 32nd birthday on May 29th, 2023.

Throughout her life, Jaclynn was always ready to help those in need, and this foundation was created to do just that! Specifically, Jaclynn’s Wish is dedicated to providing financial assistance to women between the ages of 21-40 who have been diagnosed with stage 4 triple-negative breast cancer.

Our mission is to alleviate the burden of financial stress that often accompanies a stage 4 triple-negative breast cancer diagnosis so that these young women can focus on their health and well-being. Through community engagement, fundraising efforts, and strategic partnerships, we aim to create a compassionate network of support that empowers these brave women to embrace their journey with strength and determination.

Beyond the financial support, Jaclynn’s Wish is committed to fostering a community of understanding and compassion, where young women battling this aggressive form of breast cancer can find the solace and comfort needed to meet and overcome the challenges that await them. We envision a world where no one faces this battle alone, and our nonprofit strives to be a guiding light for those in need.
