Please join us in the mission to Build. Love.

On Sept. 3, 2006, Shane P. Harris was killed in action during Operation Iraqi Freedom. This devastating loss was a time of unimaginable grief for all those who loved Shane, but with a foundation of deep faith, it also became a pivotal moment for the family. Together, they chose to move forward on a new path – to connect deeply with others in loss, to build relationships based in hope, and to realize new ways to make a difference in the world. That simple family mission led to the establishment of JSTLV in 2015, a charitable endeavor to show love by supporting people in need around the world by building homes and structures to improve their lives.
