Our LifeList program works closely with adolescent and young adult patients who have received life-threatening cancer diagnoses by giving them positive activities and adventures to focus on during treatment and by welcoming them into a community of patients and survivors who have experienced similar journeys.

Inspired by our dear friend Abby Fessler whom we lost to Leukemia in 2015, Life List provides hope and guidance to patients while they are undergoing treatment.

“You have no idea how much the Life List program means to me. The opportunity to experience the joy my sons will receive while playing on their new play set provided by DJF warms my heart. Thank you for giving my family these gifts. YOU ARE THE BEST.” – DJF Life List Patient, Kari

Life List program participation is by patient referral from our partner hospitals. For more information, please email: info@dearjackfoundation.org
