Jessie showed us that children fighting cancer need to feel supported and encouraged. She helped show that even in the face of devastating news, small acts of kindness and joy can go a long way to help brighten the day for children fighting cancer. Jessie showed the importance of joining together as a community, a country and a world to fight childhood cancer and to Never Ever Give Up for the kids.
Jessie had some rules for stuffing the perfect JoyJar because she wanted each Courageous Kid who received one to feel loved – not lonely and limited.
Some of Jessie’s specifics—
(1) no cheesy toys!
(2) Jars need to be filled to the rim with toys–little to no air.
(3) Toys should be hospital approved and age appropriate.
(4) all JoyJars should include one of Jessie’s NEGU bracelets–encouragement to Never Ever Give Up!!!
