MOTHERS AND CAREGIVERS OF THE YEAR

CELEBRATING MOTHER'S DAY WITH OUR AMAZING CLIENTS

Every Mother’s Day we honor courageous moms, foster moms, grandmothers, and caregivers as Tennessee Justice Center Mothers and Caregivers of the Year. Working with families in times of crisis, TJC has witnessed the extraordinary love and strength of mothers, year after year. We have stood with parents who persistently advocate for not only their own children but all children in need of health care.

​

Our staff recruits volunteer photographers and then provides our honorees with framed family portraits and a “Mother/Caregiver of the Year” certificate. These photos line the front wall of our office, and their moving stories of love and devotion inspire us all year long. To read about why we honor courageous moms and caregivers at Mother’s Day each year, please read this story by our Executive Director, Michele Johnson.

 

Read the stories of all of our Mothers and Caregivers of the Year by exploring the virtual version of The Wall below. We are honored to stand alongside these moms.

HELP TJC KEEP STANDING WITH MOMS

We gain our strength from our amazing mothers of the year who don’t give up. We won’t give up either, and we need your help so that we can continue to fight alongside these moms.

 

​Show a mom or caregiver how much they mean to you. Donate $50 or more by May 6th, 2025, and we’ll send a heartfelt, handmade Mother’s Day card in their honor!
