Celebrating August 12
As we approach MJ’s due date on August 12, I find myself thinking about everything that day was meant to hold. The anticipation, the joy, and the moment we would finally hold him in our arms. Instead, August 12 is now a date filled with both the deepest kind of love and unimaginable heartbreak.
Although MJ’s life was far too short, his impact continues through MJ’s Legacy Foundation.
This August 12, I’m asking you to help us honor MJ with a $12 donation to the foundation. Your meaningful gift of any amount will allow his legacy to continue bringing comfort, care, and support to families when they need it most.
