Our Story: When our mother was diagnosed with terminal leiomyosarcoma cancer, she felt helpless, scared, and frustrated. We realized the only thing we could do was to help keep her spirits up, and in an effort to do so, we chose to try to fulfill as many of her wishes as we could.
Through the efforts of family and friends, we were blessed to be able to make many of our mom's dreams come true. Watching her smile and laugh while she enjoyed these experiences was not only beneficial to her, it helped us as a family. We were making memories to last us a lifetime. Through our Spread A Little Joy Foundation, we now hope to pass these gifts on to others in need.
Mission Statement: Spread A Little Joy Foundation is a non-profit organization dedicated to making wishes come true for adults with life threatening illness, while offering their families lifetime memories, resources, and support.
It was founded in memory of Joy Holmes Brown, who lost her courageous battle with cancer in November 2010.
