Please say hello to the Juhline Family! The Juhlines have had a very tough couple of years and we here at Taffy’s Voice could not be more excited to sell raffle tickets and raise money to help them have a wonderful family vacation! Mom Megan Juhline was nice enough to write an introduction to her family for us. From Megan:

”The Juhline family of five is your typical family from the northwest region of Philadelphia. Mike and Megan have three children, Shane (15), Jesse (13), and Eden (11), who play multiple sports and fully embrace the Philadelphia sports culture. Unfortunately in November of 2021 Megan was diagnosed with breast cancer, and she underwent a double mastectomy in January of 2022. With that struggle behind them the family moved on, only for Mike to be diagnosed with esophageal cancer in March of 2024. After chemo, radiation, and an extreme surgery to extract Mike’s esophagus, this family continues to battle the struggle that is cancer. Mike and Megan are both currently cancer free, but Mike continues to face struggles with the challenges of ongoing immunotherapy.

“This has obviously taken a toll on their three children, who never wanted any parent to get diagnosed with cancer, let alone both of them within three years. They would not be here today without the ongoing support of family, friends and community. They consider themselves beyond blessed and feel humbled beyond words.”

Our goal as an organization here at Taffy’s Voice is to send as many families as we can on their dream vacations. In order to do this, we are going to need to raise money. We have a couple of different ways that we're going to do that, at least to start.

The first is going to be donations. A Venmo account is up and running for Taffy's Voice to collect donations. Every single penny that you donate will go toward either this family’s dream trip or the next family's dream trip. Our Venmo is www.venmo.com/taffysvoice and can be found HERE or by using the QR code you can find in the photos.

The second way we're going to raise money is by sending TWO MORE families on trips to Walt Disney World! Here are the details on what exactly we are giving away:

- Trip for up to 4 people

- Round trip airfare

- 7 nights in a Walt Disney World Resort Hotel

- 5 day Park Tickets

- Memory Maker

- Disney Dining Plan

- Round Trip Transportation from Orlando International Airport

We are selling 250 chances (numbered from 1 to 250) for this trip at $140 apiece, so you'll have a 1 out of 125 shot of winning the trip with your $140 purchase!

Once your ticket is purchased, we will post your chance number (which will be a number between 1 and 250) on the Taffy’s Voice Facebook and Instagram Pages and will hold the drawing on Facebook Live.. We will be posting all of the names and numbers on the Taffy’s Voice Facebook Page HERE: https://www.taffysvoice.com

Thank you all so much for your support, and we're looking forward to sending families to Walt Disney World and other dream destinations for years to come!

About Taffy’s Voice

Edith “Taffy” Leavitt Schur passed away from cancer in 2000. Taking her family to Walt Disney World was one of her favorite things, especially if her daughters agreed to ride "the teacups" with her! She was a singer, just like her kids and grandkids, and that's where the "voice" part in the name comes in. Her grandchildren never got to meet her, so they thought this tribute would honor her memory. Now, in spirit, she can continue to enjoy those Disney trips!
