jORDAN ASHLEY GUTHEIM
FOUNDATION
Jordan's family and friends were the most important things in her life! She was never happier than when she was with the ones she loved. Jordan was well known for making everyone feel special and part of her family. Her compassionate heart often led her to offer our home as a refuge to others--which often led to boisterous laughter and fun ensuing from her side of the house.
The Foundation is pleased to announce that funding in the area of FAMILY SERVICES for 2022 is one again awarded to Valerie's House, along with Pace Center for Girls Lee County, Our Mothers Home, and United Way of Lee, Hendry, Glades.
Valerie’s House is a loving place for grieving families where children learn that loss doesn't have to limit their dreams. The vision of Valerie's House is that no child will grieve alone.


The Foundation was so convinced of the impact the work at Valerie's House will have in our community of children that a 6-year $100,000 comitment was completed last year. For 2022, an additional 2-year $15,000 grant was made to help funding its new Lee County site currently under construction. The Art Room and Art Shack at Valerie's House are named in honor of Jordan, forever memorializing her love of children, art and family. To learn more about Valerie's House:
