About us
The Jack and Jill Foundation offers care and support to children with severe neurological development issues up to the age of four years. The children that the Jack and Jill Foundation support usually need intensive home nursing care due to their condition. The Jack and Jill Foundation also offers respite directly to parents and families, or gives funding to allow them to buy home respite care. The Foundation gives these families the gift of time, time to do the things that we so often take for granted like shopping, taking their other children to the park, a night’s sleep etc.
If you’ve just found yourself in a new situation with your new baby or older child, don’t worry – help is at hand. The Jack and Jill Foundation is here to help you get the best quality of life while caring for your child.
