MitoAction

Give the gift of HOPE

Spread joy, share hope, and shine bright this holiday season—give the gift of hope to a mito kid in need. Together, let’s create moments that last a lifetime and add joy to someone’s journey with mito.

This Giving Tuesday, your gift has the power to bring joy and hope to children facing the challenges of mitochondrial disease. With your support, we can make a real, lasting difference in their journeys, uplifting families and inspiring hope when it’s needed most. By donating, you’ll fuel MitoAction’s most impactful programs, specifically MitoSantas. For many Mito families, the holidays can be a challenging time. Frequent doctor visits, co-pays, and the extra costs of caring for a child with mito can make the season financially and emotionally stressful. MitoSantas helps lift that burden by spreading a little extra holiday magic for our mito kids in need.

MitoAction is deeply honored to continue the MitoSanta program, a cherished tradition founded and lovingly led by Jennifer Schwartzoff. Jennifer was more than the creative force behind MitoSanta; she was its heart. What began as a small effort to bring holiday joy to a few local families grew under her care into a beacon of hope and love for hundreds across the mitochondrial disease community. Through her kindness, compassion, and tireless spirit, Jennifer reminded us all of what it truly means to give.
