Supporting Families. Spreading Hope.
At CJ’s Thumbs Up Foundation (CJSTUF), our mission is to support families with hospitalized children through kindness, community connection, and tangible assistance. Inspired by the courage and spirit of our namesake, CJ, we offer a “thumbs up” of encouragement when it’s needed most.
Whether you’re here to learn more, get involved, or seek support, we invite you to explore and join our community of hope, help, and healing.
Together, we can lift each other up—one thumbs up at a time.

CJSTUF provides direct support, including meals and other comfort items such as blankets, which helps relieve some of the burdens that come with caring for a seriously ill child.
With a clear and heartfelt vision, CJSTUF aims to ensure that families with hospitalized children never face their journey alone.
