Our Mission
To bring life-changing relationship skills to military, first responder, and veteran families so they can be strong and thrive. Our vision is for healthy marriages and stronger families in every community. Their unique occupational experiences add stressors that affect their relationships and families. Stronger Families come alongside them to offer hope and tools to strengthen their family unit, thereby impacting future generations. It is a privilege to serve those who have already served us.

Koko’s Candles is locally owned and operated by Janeen Kokodynski in Scottsdale, Arizona. After losing her one-month-old son Matthew to a congenital heart defect in 2005, Janeen worked tirelessly with the Children’s Heart Foundation to fundraise while also creating awareness. In 2017, she combined her love of candle making with her commitment to this nonprofit, and Koko’s Candles was born.
​
A portion of the profits from each candle is donated to the Children's Heart Foundation. Visit https://www.childrensheartfoundation.org/ to learn more about the cause & ways to get involved.
