Jenny Jones
Jenny Jones Ignites Chain Reaction of Love
By: Maryam Mimi Makabi

Q: You are awarding a $100,000 grant in December. Tell me about this.
 
A: “It’s going to be a year-end big Christmas blast! I’m challenging people to help as many people in their community as possible with this grant. With only a few Heroes we have improved the lives of about 50,000 people, so I want to see what we can do with a $100,000 grant.”
 
Q: What would your ultimate Christmas wish be?
 
A: ”That my Christmas grant helps more people than I ever imaged it would. I’m hoping that the application comes through from a person who can do something amazing in their community with this money. That’s what I live for now. I can’t even print the words how great this is. Sometimes I just look at my website and cry.”
 
Q: The long-arm of Jenny Jones is helping many people and we can only imagine how successful the $100,000 grant is going to be.
 
A: “Yes, It’s hard to count how many people are going to benefit. When you think about some things that have been given, you know, you put books in the library and they are going to be there for years, the nursing equipment, the firefighting equipment, the jaws of life, how many lives is that going to save? To be able to be part of this- I just wish everybody could do this and see how good it feels. I don’t know how I could not do this because every day it’s a joy to see what my little donations are doing.”
 
We would like to thank Jenny Jones for taking the time to speak with us. Her unique contribution to humanity coupled with her sincerity makes her one of our own Heroes.
