JoyJars™ were inspired by 12 year old Jessie Rees in March of 2011 as a way to help spread hope, joy and love to other kids fighting cancer. Jessie and her parents came up with the idea after learning of Jessie’s diagnosis of brain cancer. While Jessie fights her two inoperable brain tumors, she has chooses to bless other kids fighting cancer by sending them JoyJars™.
During 2011, Jessie and the JoySquad were able to fill over 3,000 JoyJars™ for kids. They were sent to over 27 states and 7 Children’s Hospitals. Jessie’s Wish is to send a JoyJars™ to every kid fighting cancer in the United States. That is over 50,000!
You can help Jessie spread joy by making a charitable donation to JoyJars™. Donate today!
