Families, kids, and volunteers celebrating together at a Miami Joy Project Valentine's Day event

Why we exist

Birthdays and holidays are supposed to be simple. But for children with special needs and medically complex conditions, they're often the hardest days to celebrate — hospital stays, therapy schedules, and physical limitations can push milestones aside.

Miami Joy Project exists to change that. We plan and host personalized celebrations — birthdays, holidays, and outreach events — so every child gets their moment, exactly the way they deserve it.

What Guides Us

Our values

Every Child First

Every celebration is built around the child — their comfort, their favorite things, their pace.

Community-Powered

Volunteers, families, and local partners come together to make every party possible.

Joy Without Limits

Diagnosis, mobility, and ability never determine who gets to celebrate.

Care, Not Charity

We show up with dignity and warmth — every family is treated like our own.
