Meet Our Team

Our team is made up of passionate and compassionate individuals dedicated to supporting children with Autism and Down syndrome and empowering the families who care for them. Across the United States, Nigeria, and The Gambia, we work together to promote inclusion, hope, advocacy, and meaningful support for children with special needs.
Behind every outreach, support program, and success story is a team committed to making a positive difference, one child and one family at a time.

Meet Our Founder

Jenete Okereke

Meet Jenete Okereke, a dedicated nurse whose heart beats not only for her patients but also for her son, who inspires her every day. As a mother of a wonderful child with Down Syndrome, Jenete has walked a path filled with challenges, learning, and extraordinary love. Her personal journey has ignited a deep passion within her to advocate for families navigating similar experiences. With over 15 years of nursing experience, Jenete has devoted her life to caring for others, embodying compassion, empathy, and service. Her clinical expertise is matched by her ability to connect with patients and families, ensuring they feel supported during life’s most vulnerable moments.

Fueled by her experiences as a mother and caregiver, Jenete founded the Grayson Clinton Foundation — a transformative organization committed to supporting children with Autism and Down Syndrome and empowering families through advocacy, outreach, and community support.

In addition to her humanitarian work, Jenete is also the Founder and Administrator of JGC Healthcare Services, a healthcare support solutions organization based in Fairfax, Virginia, proudly serving Northern Virginia with compassionate and professional care services.

Through her unwavering dedication as a nurse, administrator, advocate, and mother, Jenete continues to be a beacon of hope and inspiration to countless families across communities and borders.
