​One of the joys of being part of this foundation is being able to encourage those who are going through a rough time. Maverick showed bravery during a recent surgery and we were happy to be able to provide him with a basket full of goodies and supplies to make his recovery comfortable!

We have recently had the opportunity to work with Brayden, a strong amazing chronically ill kid, and his family.  His mother, Ashley, recently shared with me their experience:
​
We just can’t possibly thank Neeley enough for this wonderful opportunity. Thanks to Neeley’s Chronic Joy Foundation, our son Brayden is able to attend swim lessons all summer. In addition, our family was also gifted awesome memberships to Hurricane Harbor! This absolutely wouldn’t have been possible without you, and has been one of the most memorable summers we’ve ever had! From chilling in the tube riding waves, to screaming down wild water rides! Brayden has loved the water his entire life, but his lessons really challenge him. He is more confident and strong. He hopes to continue on and climb the ranks at Aquatots! I love that he’s getting exercise without stressing his body or becoming too fatigued quickly. We are so grateful for the joy your foundation brought us and hope to pay it forward in the future, in your honor. Thank you again, Neeley! Words can’t express our gratitude for how easy and exciting this entire process with you has been. Our family is amazed by you and highly recommend your foundation and what it stands for.

With Love, Salt and Spoons,
Brayden & Family
