We are Jordan and Lauren Tardy, and we are privileged to be Jadon’s parents. Jadon is an amazing kid and a gift to our family. However, Jadon’s early life experiences have led to emotional and psychological challenges, including anxiety disorder, ADHD, and an attachment disorder. These challenges make daily life difficult for him even leading to unsafe behaviors.
After consulting professionals and exploring every option, we made the difficult decision to enroll Jadon in a Residential Therapeutic Program. Over the next four to six months Jadon will receive holistic care, further assessments and intensive therapy tailored to his needs. This program will also involve us through weekly therapy sessions and training to enhance our parenting skills and deepen our relationship with Jadon.
When we adopted Jadon, we never imagined this would be part of our story. As painful as it was for us to enroll Jadon in this program, we have chosen it because we want to do all we can to help Jadon heal, mature and become all that God has created him to be.
This program is cost prohibitive – costing between $100,000 to $130,000 depending on his length of stay. During our visit, the immense resources and personalized care – ranging from teachers and therapists to nurses and clinical directors – clarified why the cost is so high.
We have taken this step of faith, trusting God to provide the necessary resources. We have already given our savings of $25,000 to begin the therapy. However, this falls short of the total expenses. We invite you to participate in Jadon’s unfolding story. Will you consider giving toward this need, becoming an integral part of the healing journey God is still crafting for Jadon and our family?
We are grateful for you.
Jordan and Lauren Tardy
