The Jesse J Foundation Sanctuary, nestled in the serene countryside of Des Moines, Iowa, has found a dedicated ally in Jim Mazziotti, a respected real estate veteran, a member of the Collin County Association of Realtors, and a resident living and working in the DelWebb Community at Trinity Falls in Mckinney, Texas. 

 

With over three decades of experience in the real estate industry, Jim Mazziotti of EXIT Realty Elite, has made a heartfelt commitment to support the Jesse J Foundation Sanctuary. For every real estate transaction he handles, Jim will donate 10% of his commission to this noble cause. Each donation will be made in the name of the client he works with, ensuring that every partnership contributes to bringing solace to those in need.

 

Jim's journey with the foundation began with a personal connection to the devastating impact of glioblastoma, the aggressive brain tumor that changed his sister's life. Touched by his family's experience and inspired by a recent visit to the sanctuary, Jim felt compelled to make a difference in the lives of cancer patients and their families.

 

The Jesse J Sanctuary, a nonprofit organization driven by the legacy of Jesse, a brave soul who battled glioblastoma with unwavering courage, aims to provide a haven of peace and tranquility for those facing similar challenges. This free retreats located in the picturesque landscapes of rural Des Moines, Iowa.

The Jesse J Foundation provides comfort, support, and respite to cancer patients and their families by providing a nature sanctuary where they can enjoy a country setting to ease their experience with cancer. The foundation believes honesty and integrity are the leading principles of our mission, and we strive to provide an atmosphere of compassion and care and provides a sanctuary where patients and their loved ones can find respite, strength, and hope amid nature's embrace.

 

"We believe that every cancer patient and their family deserve moments of solace and serenity during their journey," said a spokesperson for the Jesse J Foundation Sanctuary. "Our mission is to create lasting memories and offer a space where guests can find peace amidst the beauty of nature."
