Letters of Gratitude đź’ś
This Mother’s Day, we are honored to highlight the Connie Orlando Foundation and the generosity extended to mothers, survivors, and families within the Jenesse community through special gifts shared across our shelter, drop-in programs, and extended Jenesse family — because once you’re with Jenesse, you’re family forever.
The joy, tears, hugs, and heartfelt letters shared in this collection are a powerful reminder of what community support can mean during difficult seasons. More than financial support, these acts of kindness created moments of dignity, restoration, relief, and hope for survivors rebuilding their lives and caring for their families.
We are deeply grateful to the Jenesse Center staff, leadership team, board members, Jenesse Angels, partners, and supporters who continue to help make moments like this possible.
Over the next few days, we’ll also be sharing reflections from members of the Jenesse team who helped bring this effort to life and witnessed firsthand the impact of this generosity. 🌹
