CJB Outreach hopes to build a community where women and children are protected, supported, and have the necessary resources for stability and security.
Our Mission
Founded in 2024, the CJB Outreach provides immediate and impactful aid to women-led households, by providing legal and career assistance for a secure and stable future.
Our Vision
A woman should never be put in a position that allows her children to be in jeopardy due to not having resources for food, shelter, basic essentials, and adequate legal representation.
Our organization was founded to help minimize stress for women monetarily, so they can make sound decisions for themselves, and their children’s, security and stability.
By providing legal and monetary aid in times of crisis, women no longer have to feel forced into complacency and can appropriately protect themselves and their children without resource limitations.
It Began With Two Courageous Souls…
Crises are a natural part of life. While some are minor hiccups, the one thing they all share is that they don’t provide a warning. When there is an illness, loss, or substantial life event in a family unit, very few resources are available for aid. Even for the available options, the waiting period for approval is often too long to stop the avalanche of consequences that leave people without food, shelter, and life necessities.
The CJB Outreach Organization was founded by Julie Barth. Her daughter Taytem was born at 38 weeks with a condition called Primordial Dwarfism, which comes with no genetic marker. At birth, due to the lack of diagnoses, the necessary lifesaving care she received paralyzed her vocal cords. From there, she endured over 40 surgeries for a laryngeal reconstruction to remove the trach she had had since birth. Tayt subsequently lost her ability to speak.
Soon after her reconstruction, her father Colin was diagnosed with stage four pancreatic cancer at just 33 years of age. He lived 16 agonizing months before losing the battle, passing at the age of 35, when Tayt was just 5 years old. When Tayt was 13, she was diagnosed with a rare form of soft tissue cancer completely unrelated to her previous medical challanges, which led to a series of another 12 surgeries. Surgical removal of the carcinoma was the only treatment. Tayt’s upper right upper torso was removed, including tissue, muscle, and bone, and her legs skin-grafted to cover the areas that were taken.
Tayt’s family has been through unimaginable circumstances and times where they were not sure if they could keep the lights on. They know what illness and crises can do to a family. The foundation hopes to provide an immediate, responsive, and minimizing impact to those single woman-led housefholds in the community who have nowhere else to turn. The reality is that ANYONE can find themselves in a position where they stand to lose everything in an instant. It is our duty as a community to help one another as we hope others will help us. If it were not for many in the Barths’ lives, they wouldn’t know where they would be.
