A Story of hope and resilience

As a newly developing foundation, the Jones Foundation for Aneurysms does not yet have a specific individual story to point to, but what makes our mission compelling is that the story has already begun with our own family’s journey. The experience of Robert J. Jones, his fight after a ruptured aneurysm, and the challenges our family endured in caregiving and loss have laid the foundation for what we aim to achieve.

Our Impact

Discover how the Jones Foundation for Aneurysms is making a difference in the lives of individuals and families affected by aneurysms. While we're a newly developing foundation, our mission is rooted in personal experience and a commitment to providing education, support, and advocacy. Explore the ways we're already shaping a brighter future for those facing this challenging condition.

Our impact taking shape

While we are still building our programs, the impact is already taking shape in the following ways:

Families are beginning to see a new resource on the horizon—an organization created by people who understand their struggle firsthand.

Healthcare providers are learning about our mission and exploring how to connect patients and caregivers to the education and support we will offer.

The community is hearing our story, which inspires conversations about early detection, advocacy, and the hidden burdens families face when caring for someone with a brain aneurysm.

Prevention and preparedness

The most compelling story we can tell right now is one of prevention and preparedness: that by launching this foundation, we believe that future families will not face brain aneurysms in silence, isolation, or financial despair. Our impact will be measured not only by the numbers we reach, but also by the relief and hope families will feel knowing they are not alone.

Measuring our progress

The Jones Foundation for Aneurysms will track its progress through meaningful metrics that demonstrate its reach, effectiveness, and long-term impact on the community. By setting clear benchmarks, we will ensure our programs deliver both measurable outcomes and lasting value. These metrics include:

  • Education and Awareness: Workshops, webinars, website visits, social media reach.
  • Family and Caregiver Support: Participation in support groups, feedback surveys, distribution of resources.
  • Financial Assistance Program: Number of families receiving assistance, types of needs addressed.
  • Research and Advocacy: Community surveys, reports shared with leaders, advocacy meetings.

Future goals

The future goals of the Jones Foundation for Aneurysms focus on establishing a robust, sustainable platform of education, support, and advocacy. In the coming years, we plan to expand our impact in several key areas:

  • Education & Awareness: Developing community outreach campaigns, workshops, and digital resources.
  • Support for Families & Caregivers: Creating networks and programs that provide emotional, spiritual, and financial support.
