**Help Us Heal, Teach, and Inspire—One Monthly Gift at a Time**

At the Jose Wejebe Spanish Fly Memorial Foundation, we believe in the power of the outdoors to transform lives.  Monthly donations are simple, sustainable, and provide the foundation with predictable support to plan programs that maximize impact. By giving a little each month, you help us:

- Your support helps us reach more kids—especially those in foster care—by teaching the value of conservation and connecting them with positive role models who can change the course of their lives.
- Offer restorative outdoor experiences for veterans in need
- Bring joy and unforgettable memories to families facing illness or life-impacting challenges

By joining our Monthly Giving Program, you become a vital partner in making these experiences possible. Even a small monthly contribution can have a huge impact. Every dollar you give is an investment in kids, veterans, families, their futures, and the lasting legacy of our mission.

A Story About Our "*Why"*

In January 2023, 14-month-old Virgil VanKleek was diagnosed with Rhabdomyosarcoma, a rare and aggressive childhood cancer. While Virgil is now cancer-free, the toll on his family was overwhelming—physically, emotionally, and financially. Thanks to the generosity of donors like you, the Jose Wejebe Memorial Foundation was able to give the VanKleek family eight days in the Florida Keys filled with joy, adventure, and healing. From fishing and snorkeling to exploring coral farms, encountering marine life, and fulfilling his mother, Amanda’s, lifelong dream of swimming with dolphins, the family experienced hope and happiness they never thought possible.

Amanda shared, “It was more than a trip. It was healing. It was unrivaled happiness. It was hope.” Your support makes moments like this possible. Every donation helps us bring comfort, joy, and renewal to families facing unimaginable challenges. Together, we can continue turning pain into possibility and give families the gift of healing memories.

Another "*Why"* Story

Four boys in long-term foster care recently spent a week in the Florida Keys thanks to the Jose Wejebe Memorial Foundation and Misty Wells’ A Reel Future. For children who have endured trauma, instability, and loss, the trip was more than just fishing, dolphin swims, and exploring coral reefs—it was a chance to laugh, feel safe, and create memories of joy. From cooking their own catch to learning about conservation, the boys experienced what it means to be cared for and supported, often for the first time.

Their counselor said the experience was “truly unforgettable,” and one of the boys shared, “This breath of fresh air finally brought peace to such a whirlwind of a world we live in… it showed me the sun is always shining, and that there are people that do care about us foster kids.” That is the power of your generosity. Your monthly support makes these life-changing moments possible—proving to kids who feel forgotten that they are seen, valued, and never alone. 💙 Become a Monthly Donor—Because everyone deserves hope.
