Donate to LOVE like JJ

LOVE like JJ was founded in honor of Jonathan (JJ) Day, a 9-year-old boy from Mason who passed away unexpectedly in his sleep. 

Love like JJ believes the best investment we can make is in our children and to ensure they all have fulfilled basic needs and the opportunity to succeed. Their goal is to engage the local community and to provide practical support to bring lasting improvements to their lives.

About JJ:

Whether at home, school, on the soccer field, or mastering Taekwondo, JJ managed to touch so many people with his caring heart.  JJ was a hilarious comedian, incredibly smart beyond his years, but most of all a great friend.

JJ saw the world differently than most.  To him, his life was a blank canvas, which he was obligated to fill.  A canvas that he strove to fill with laughter and love each day.  But not only could you see JJ’s canvas, JJ made sure you felt it.  JJ wrapped his friends, family and even strangers with his canvas and ensured each person he met, felt his love.

Jonathan Day “JJ” passed away unexpectedly in his sleep on January 9, 2021.  In such a short time, JJ managed to spread more love than many people can in a lifetime.  Those who knew JJ, knew he LOVED.  His LOVE was BIG, his LOVE was powerful, and his LOVE was overwhelming.  And each day, JJ extended that LOVE and his precious smiles to each person he encountered.

He LOVED us, and we LOVE him!
