The Story of John Travolta

The Perfect Present

After suffering such a huge loss as Travolta and Preston did, something finally brought back the joy they needed to combat the grief. In November 2010, they welcomed their son Benjamin Travolta. They had been trying to have another child for three years. Travolta called this the glue helped restore the family.

Travolta said in a statement, “He’s given the house a renewed spirit and purpose. He’s brought us a new beginning…All our memories are connected to Jett over the last 18 years – our photos, our homes, our travel. It’s not something that will ever leave us.” He even went as far to say they may not have overcome the pain without this perfect gift. Fans were deeply touched by this bold and brave statement sharing his grief and also gratitude at welcoming new life into the family.

The Jett Travolta Foundation

Have we told you how generous Travolta is with his donations to charity? Yeah, we know, but there’s even more amazing contributions to talk about. In honor of Jett, the couple started a foundation. What exactly does the Jett Travolta Foundation do, you ask? You should be asking what doesn’t it do!

Some of its goals are supporting literacy, charitable and educational purposes. The foundation has contributed to over 70 different organizations thus far! It uses its funds to provide necessary donations to children who have impairments or limited mobility, hearing, communication and vision. In addition, they aid children with behavior learning impairments or any unique medical/health needs.
