Christ’s Starfish Foundation is a 501(c) (3) Christian organization that helps hurting children and their families in the Jacksonville, Gainesville, and Pensacola, Florida areas. We do this by providing two services. First we provide support to the child life specialists for all of the children at Wolfson Children’s Hospital, Jacksonville, at Shands Hospital, Gainesville, and Sacred Heart Hospital in Pensacola. One of the biggest ways we do this is to provide Christmas presents to the children who are in the hospital on Christmas Day. What’s in a Name?
Some people ask about our name. Have you ever heard the story of the little boy picking up starfish on the beach? He picked them up one by one and threw them back into the ocean. A man who had been watching from far off approached him and said, “Son there are hundreds of starfish on the beach, you will never be able to save them all.” The little boy stooped down,picked up a starfish and with a grin on his face, tossed it into the ocean. He then turned to the man and said, “I made a difference to that one.” At Christ’s Starfish Foundation that is all we are trying to do. We are trying to make a difference, one hurting family at a time.
