It started with a simple question: How can we help them? It became
an international movement called NEGU: Never Ever Give Up. When
Jessica Joy Rees was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor at
age 11, she chose to focus not on herself but on bringing joy and
hope to other children suffering from cancer. During the ten months
she battled cancer, she and her family worked in the "Joy Factory"
(originally their garage) making JoyJars (R)-packages filled with
toys, games, and love for other kids with cancer. Jessie first
handed them out personally at the hospital where she was being
treated, but the effort blossomed quickly and there were soon
thousands of JoyJars (R) being distributed across the United States
and to over fifteen countries. Today, more than 100,000 kids have
received JoyJars (R), and they continue shipping each week to kids
in over 200 children's hospitals and 175 Ronald McDonald Houses.
Jessie lost her battle with cancer in January 2012, but her message
lives on in the Jessie Rees Foundation, which has become a beacon
of hope for families fighting pediatric cancer. Join the movement
at www.negu.org.
