During Jessie Rees’s 10-month fight with DIPG (Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma), a time when most people would be looking inward, 12 year old Jessie chose to focus her time and energy helping other kids- courageous kids, who felt lonely and limited due to their own fight with cancer. She was only three weeks into her own treatment when she asked her parents, “How can we help them”, referring to the children who were in-patient at Children’s Hospital Orange County. That same night, she began to create the beginnings of her JoyJars. JoyJars, named after her middle name Joy are plastic jars filled with toys, games and activities, along with a special note—her motto and inspirational message—NEGU, Never Ever Give Up. Jessie personally stuffed and sent 3,000 JoyJars to kids all over the world. Her mission—- the ensure that every child fighting cancer will receive her jars of encouragement, love and joy.
