Dear Parents,

I want you to know the Jessie Rees Foundation is here for YOU and your courageous child. Stacey Jessie Rees with her parentsand I know first-hand what it feels like to be told your child has cancer, search for treatments around the world, watch bills pile up, try to manage your other kids, keep your job going, pray for a miracle, try new foods, sit at chemo, wait for radiation to get over, attend MRI …the list goes on.

NO child or parent should have to go through what we have, but they do, so we HELP.

We hope the Jessie Rees Foundation and the NEGU Family Network can help you. Please visit us at www.families.negu.wpengine.com.

NEGU,
Erik & Stacey Rees
