JT Mestdagh Foundation
THE VISION
BY REACHING UP AND REACHING OUT, A WORLD IS CHANGED AND IMPROVED.
By reaching up and reaching out, the JT Mestdagh Foundation sees a world changed and improved by children with congenital colorectal issues who receive world-class medical care, and by those with dyslexia and other learning disabilities who excel with the best possible education, mentoring, and tutoring, especially using the Tattum Reading program. The foundation also envisions these young people’s families, caregivers, and educators surrounded with love and hope as well as practical tools and creative strategies to ease the demands that no one should face alone.
VALUES
We stand proudly committed to compassionate service to model the welcoming love and encouragement of Jesus Christ. With our combined efforts, all fundraising communication, and grant-making is done with utmost honesty, transparency, and sensitivity.
