Why Jennie Marie Thomas Foundation?
JMTF is inspired by and created in the memory of my Grandmother. She was a woman who was, to me, the epitome of what God’s love is. No matter what happened in the family, no matter what actions I took or other family members took, no matter how we acted or what we believed she would never deny anyone a place at the dinner table. And to me that represents what humanity is and can be in its most magnificent expression. All parties sitting at the same table no matter what. She brought & kept our family together. It is the Foundation for which all of Humanity may choose to relate to each other.
