Welcome to Project Joy & Hope
Project Joy and Hope’s goal is to achieve the best quality of life and care for children and young people with life-limiting conditions and their families, by raising awareness of pediatric palliative care, educating PPC providers, and providing supportive care services and programs. Project Joy and Hope (PJH) aims to provide a strong support system, thereby helping families remain stable and intact at this challenging time in their lives.
PJH is based in the greater Houston-Galveston area and serve as an advisor and model for similar programs throughout Texas and the United States. We value your support, and there are many ways to make a difference and become actively involved.

Pediatric Palliative Care
Palliative care affects the whole family, with the burden of care falling upon parents and siblings or grandparents. Palliative care (supportive care) is an ‘umbrella’ term for all services that may be required to support children with a life-threatening illness. It is based on an assumption that families have many needs for supportive care (physical, psychological, social, spiritual and practical) from the time a child initially is diagnosed with a life-threatening condition.
The PJH Pediatric Palliative Care Center (PPCC) is a state-of-the-art facility designed to provide community awareness, education, and supportive care programs for children with special healthcare needs and their families in the greater Houston area and beyond. The TULIP PROJECT is a unique pediatric palliative care residential complex comprised of twelve residential homes. Here families discover a “home away from home” while children are undergoing treatment, requiring palliative care, or are awaiting or recovering from a transplant, while receiving supportive care services at the PPCC on campus.

We are looking forward to seeing this beautiful family!❣️❣️pic for attention❣️❣️
We are headed down to Houston this weekend for appointments with Link’s CDH team.
We are going to stop by Project Joy & Hope while we are down there to visit some amazing people
This is an absolutly wonderful organization & the only way we were able to have Link receive all the care that he did & me having to live down there for 5 months.
They are a nonprofit organization started by Dr Wheeler.
They have 12 duplexes for families who have children with life limiting conditions receiving care in the area.
Not only do they provided safe, clean, beautiful place to live, but they provide so much support to bring you so much “joy & hope” in the hardest times of peoples lives.
While we stayed there we met kids waiting to receive lungs, with brain tumors, kids with severe cancer, women pregnant with the same condition Link has.
We saw some families leave with joy as their children were healthier & some very horrible moments of witnessing the worst grief you can imagine.
Weekly we were having people show up at our door with Christmas presents & Easter baskets for the boys, cleaning supplies, basic necessities & gift cards for food while we were practically living in the NICU
I’ve rambled..what I’m getting at is we are going to bring each one of the current families staying there a gift card to help ease even an ounce of their burden while staying there.
If anyone would like to donate anything to such a great cause I’m going to list my phone number below that can be used for both Venmo & Zelle
& we will split whatever we receive plus what we are planning to donate up between the 12 families staying there.
This is a blessing of an organization
It’s our home away from home.
The place i brought my miracle baby home.
The place where Loki met his baby brother.

Ryder and i remember you guys! Ryder got his lung Tranplant and we got to go home! Tell everyone at PJH hi for us!!
What a beautiful visit we had. A blessing to see another miracle. This family is amazing.
Project Joy and Hope celebrates with one of our Tulip Project families. Here's a reflection from Dad... “The Strongest Hearts have scars.”
A year ago this week, God reached down from Heaven with a Miracle! The Miracle came in the form of a little baby boy that we named Tucker Fred. Tucker was placed in his mother’s arms for a few minutes and wheeled away for lots of echos and testing for a major surgery. Three days later he was taken back for an 11-hour surgery, correcting and repairing three major heart issues. Now he’s a strong little man with a big smile and special heart! We are thankful to Texas Children’s Hospital, and the great care they gave us! We are also thankful for our community and the local churches that stood behind in Prayer and Donations! Thank you, Lord, for holding our hands and thank you for allowing us to be recipients of a great miracle! Happy Birthday, Tucker Fred.
