Donor Values Mission

“I was looking to increase my charitable donations,” he says. “When I checked out our company’s philanthropy portal, I saw Parisi House listed there. After I read more about the mission, I became very interested and started donating. My company matches my donation, which is really great. I encourage everyone to look into their company’s matching program because it’s an easy way to give.”

Like a lot of young professionals in Silicon Valley, he and his wife, Melanie, started thinking about how fortunate and blessed they were to have good careers, and they decided it was time to give back to the community in a bigger way. He works at PlayStation and Melanie is employed at Google.

“Growing up, I was very close to my mom, and the idea of separating children from their mothers due to a disease doesn’t sit well with me,” Jason says. “That bond is so critical for childhood development, and I think mothers are much less likely to have a positive outcome if they are separated from their children.

”He says he was very moved by the testimonials of mothers who had been through the residential treatment program at Parisi House and are living full lives today.

“The testimonials are very powerful,” he adds. “You see what can be achieved by following the plan provided by Parisi House. It’s incredibly inspiring.”

Jason grew up near Baltimore and moved to the Bay Area with his wife about 10 years ago. The couple enjoys activities like mountain biking, scuba diving and camping.

“We are very grateful for our lives,” Jason says. “I hope my donation makes it possible for these moms and kids to live their best lives.”

Donor Values Mission

Jason Grimm appreciates his upbringing. He had a mother who was very engaged in his life despite having a full-time job and another gig on the side. He’s also seen how addiction can impact families, so when he learned about Parisi House on the Hill’s mission, he knew he had to support it. For the last three years, he has donated monthly through his company’s matching program.
