About
On December 31st 1982, a healthy baby boy was born to Scott and Theresa Groth. Jon Glenn was the youngest of three children. His two older sisters Jennifer and Christine—being three years old and 16 months became great playmates of their new baby brother. All was well and Jon Glenn grew strong and healthy. When he turned 18 months old, Jon Glenn suffered a high fever that tragically left brain damage and a seizure disorder. It is through the Groth‘s personal journey over the many years of caring for a child with special needs that the Jon Glenn Foundation was born.
And so it was, the Jon Glenn Foundation was created to help meet the needs of families just like theirs experiencing the joy and great responsibility of raising a child with special needs in Central Florida. As those who have been there know all too well, resources can be scarce and the financial pressure of providing for children can be out of reach. The truth is for these families, there can be many unmet needs and children simply go without services and the support their family and child desperately need.
Today, Jon Glenn Foundation has the empathy, network and opportunity to make a difference for some of Central Florida’s most vulnerable families. Our goal is to rally like minded individuals who recognize the need and give them the opportunity to make a direct impact on specific families and children. Please browse our website to learn more about our growing 501c3 organization and what we are up to and how you can get involved—. and of course feel free to call us anytime at 386-801-4884.
