About Us
Our History
RJ SMILES, INC.
At RJ Smiles Inc, we are driven by an amazing legacy of love, compassion, and resilience. Our organization was born over 13 years ago, from the memory of Richard Jackson, a remarkable young man, whose light was extinguished far too soon by the actions of a reckless driver.
As a founder of this organization and mother of this extraordinary individual, I was blessed to have received unwavering support, kindness and assistance during the darkest moments of my life. It’s from a place of true and unwavering gratitude and deep desire to pay it forward, that RJ Smiles Inc exists.
Our goal is simple yet profound: to extend a helping hand to individuals, navigating difficult times by sharing smiles and fulfilling every day simple wishes. We understand firsthand the challenges that life can throw our way and the importance of having support and assistance during those times. Knowing that someone cares, can make a world of difference. Just as others helped me when I needed it most, we are committed to being that support system for others.
Through our work, we aim to honor the memory of Richard Jackson, and his legacy of kindness and compassion. By helping individuals as they move forward in their journey, we hope to bring a glimmer of light into their lives, and remind them that they are not alone.
At RJ Smiles Inc, we believe that together we can make a difference. Join us in sharing smiles, love, kindness, and support to those who need it most, and together we can continue to make the world a brighter place one simple wish at a time.
Our Team
At the heart of RJ Smile's success is a wonderful team whose collective passion and commitment drive our mission forward. Alongside our dedicated team, we are fortunate to have enthusiastic volunteers who generously contribute their time and energy.
These volunteers play a pivotal role in our organization's growth, embodying the belief that each person can make a difference. Whether it's through hands-on work, spreading awareness, or contributing unique talents, every individual involved becomes a catalyst for positive change. Together, we're not just an organization; we're a community united by a shared vision of sharing smiles, inspiring hope and fulfilling wishes.
Every small act has the potential to create significant, lasting change. Our nonprofit thrives because of the belief that together, we can make a meaningful and lasting impact on the lives we touch.
Smile Bags
NEVER UNDERESTIMATE THE POWER OF A SMILE
At RJ Smiles Inc, we understand the profound impact that a genuine smile can have on someone’s life, as they navigate some of life's challenges. That is why we are proud to Share a Smile with our Smile Bags. These bags are designed to lift spirits and spread joy to those who need it most.
We believe that a smile is more than just an expression; it’s a beacon of hope and reminder that even in the most difficult of times, there is light and goodness in the world. When someone smiles at you, it can be a powerful acknowledgment that you’re not alone – when you smile, it’s a signal of hope.
Our smile bags are carefully put together and filled with thoughtful items, chosen to bring a smile to the recipient's face. From uplifting notes and comforting essentials to small treats and surprises, each bag is tailored to brighten someone’s day, and let them know that they are cherished and supported.
The bags themselves may vary, and the contents may be different, but the goal remains the same: to create a moment of joy and connection, and to remind each recipient that someone is cheering them on from afar.
