Our Story
The Slater Jett Meyers Foundation was established by Ilana and Glenn Meyers in loving memory of their son, Slater. Born full-term, Slater faced severe challenges due to complications during delivery, resulting in significant brain damage. In his brief eight months, he imparted invaluable lessons that inspire the foundation's mission today. The foundation aims to share these lessons and support other children who have suffered from birth injuries. While primarily focused in the New York Metropolitan area, SJMF extends its reach to help children beyond geographical boundaries. The involvement of the Meyers family, including their four other children, enriches the foundation's efforts, ensuring Slater's legacy lives on through every child they assist.
