Hi
My name is Jack Duffy. I am 30 years old and I have Autism. I am the Chief Fundraising Officer of
Team Jack Duffy.
I love my family, friends, policemen and firemen. I also love Candy Days because it is the time of year
when I get to ask people to support Misericordia Heart of Mercy.
One day I hope to live at Misericordia where I will be a part of a community and have lots of friends.
Being a Misericordia resident will also give my family peace of mind because I will be given the
opportunity to reach my full potential.
In 2025, 120 donors supported TJD and we raised over $40,000!
​
As CFO, my Candy Days 2026 goal is to raise $30,000, but even more if we can. I am hoping over 150 people will help this year! To start us off, I am donating $30.00. It was my birthday money this year from my Godparents.
​​
Thank you for your consideration and support. Go Team!

2025 was another great year. I spent a lot of time with my family and friends. I went scuba diving again still remembered how to clear my mask and use all the hand signals. I also went to Disney World again
my Dad and cousin Kerry, we had a blast. I love flying on airplanes and seeing Mickey and Minnie
and the rest of my friends down there .
​
I enjoyed lots of fun activities like swimming, horseback riding, going to movies and the zoo. I visited
many police and fire stations and hung out with all the heroes there. They all know my name!
​​​
On January 14, 2026, I turned 30 years old. We had cake and I got lots of presents including firefighter gear. If you ask me how old I will be next year I will say, “I will be 31 years old next year.”
​
But the biggest news of all is that I became an Uncle this year when my nephew Shepherd was born. My Sister Bridget and brother-in-law Cam have a beautiful baby boy!
I have been busy in my job as Chief Fundraising Officer at Team Jack Duffy. We really appreciate your support and generosity! I posted some new pictures below of my friends and family, including one of me and my nephew Shepard.
Love, Jack
