Help Jordon raise money

Hi, I’m Jordon—Charlie's dad.

When Charlie was just two years old, we noticed her toe was swollen and she was in so much pain she couldn’t walk. We never imagined it would lead to a diagnosis of Juvenile Arthritis. Since then, our lives have been filled with hospital visits, new medications, joint injections, and the emotional ups and downs of watching our daughter live with a disease that most people don’t even know kids can get.

It’s been hard. As a dad, you want to fix things—and there have been so many moments where I couldn’t. But through it all, one thing has made a huge difference: community.

We started Charlotte’s Superstars to show our daughter that she’s never alone. And through Cassie + Friends, we’ve connected with other families who really get it. I’ve met other dads, moms, siblings—people who’ve walked the same path and who remind us that we’re part of something bigger.

Thanks to my wife’s work at Cassie + Friends, I’ve learned so much—about Charlie’s condition, about advocacy, and about how much strength families like ours carry. It’s inspired me to do more, speak up more, and keep showing up—for Charlie, for our family, and for others going through the same thing.
