Our Mission

To create a memorable hotel stay

Following a child’s medical procedure in order to provide support, bring joy and celebrate the road to recovery

About me

Jessica Craycraft

For as long as I can remember, hotels have captivated me. I love the excitement of entering a new hotel room, from the immaculately made bed to the tiny shampoo bottles. And let’s not forget the occasional customized amenity! Hotels are extraordinary.

My name is Jessica Craycraft and I am the founder of Operation Bliss. I have worked in hotels for over 15 years and work full time in the sales department for a luxury hotel in Dallas. I am married to an incredible man and have two amazing children.

Operation Bliss

We will provide a one-night stay at a local DFW Hotel to celebrate a child’s medical discharge.

The stay will be placed at a partnering Hotel with availability at no cost to the family. The stay will include room and tax, one restaurant gift card for meals and a customized amenity for the patient

What they say

Testimonials

“At a time when my son was feeling the most vulnerable medically, Operation Bliss came alongside us and brought so much comfort and joy. Receiving the basket/gifts was the first time he smiled in a week since his operation, which lightened our burden as parents and helped refocus him on how special he was to us and even people he didn’t know. Love, kindness and generosity are at the heart of everything Operation Bliss does. So grateful for the blessing they were for us and all the families they love on!"

“We can’t thank Operation Bliss enough for all that they did to make our travel from St. Louis to Dallas for surgery as easy as possible. Everyone’s kind attention was such a source of comfort for us. They not only made my son having the operation feel cared for, they also extended their thoughtful attention to every single member of my family. From the absolutely amazing hotel, to tasty treats and delicious meals, they took care of every detail allowing us to just concentrate on my son and seeing him through his surgery as comfortably as possible.”
