Do you guys remember Jeneece Edroff, the incredible teenager who created the “Penny Girl” campaign to raise money for sick kids and their families?
Well I recently got an email from Jeneece’s mom, updating me on the opening of the brand new facility, Jeneece’s Place:
Just last week Jeneece’s Place opened its doors to families with a family member that needs medical services in Victoria. The facility is 10,500 square feet, with ten bedrooms, a communal kitchen, dining, living, game and media rooms, and an outdoor area where kids can play- pretty impressive right?
Here’s a great video commemorating the journey that led to Jeneece’s Place:
Congratulations Jeneece! You are one-of-a-kind and your ability to chase after that dream to help others inspires us all.
To learn how you can support Jeneece’s Place check out her website here.

- Jan 31, 2012This is awesome. What a wonderful girl. I am impressed by the fact she is not sitting around feeling sorry for herself but instead going out there to make a difference for other families of children who suffer with serious illnesses. She is an inspiration to all those who are in her life. I wish more people could see the difference one child can make and then get inspired themselves to go out and pay it forward.
I know here in the United States we have places similar to this called Ronald Mc Donald House. Take it from me, they are a blessing. When my daughter was ill when she was a baby we staid in the one right by the hospital she was in and they were the most amazing people. The best part was having support from other parents who knew what we were going through.
- Feb 1, 2012Thanks to share this update. It is always incredible to see how just a little and sweet woman can do the difference in others lifes.. Children or teens are so full of energy, ideas and unaffected to create wonderful things, and, in spite of all the troubles, they get straight to the point. We, grown-ups, can learn more.

- Feb 3, 2012You are SO welcome, Angie!! We are so honored to be a part of Jeneece's Place! The video is fabulous and show's how much Jeneece cares. She's one dedicated and caring woman. Thanks so much for working with us!
- Feb 6, 2012@Joanne, AMEN! I so agree with you. There is one community in MI, USA that could use this spirit. It has been said " It takes a village to raise a child", sometimes it takes a child to raise a community. Janeese your giving heart is a breath of fresh air and you obviously have a great community that has wrapped it's arms around you. I can say what was done will be a blessing beyond words. May your smile be infectious to the young and old. Thanks Ty for posting this.
