Our Mission
The mission of Jack & Lyndi’s Fairytale Foundation is to bring comfort and joy to families with children enduring extended hospital stays through the provision of essential items such as phone chargers, blankets and pillows, as well as entertainment options like games. Our foundation aims to alleviate the burdens of hospital life and create moments of respite and normalcy for these families during challenging times. We strive to transform hospital stays into more bearable experiences, fostering hope, resilience, and a sense of community for those in need.
