March 23, 2013 a project of ServiceSpace Joy is strength. - Mother Teresa - Jessie's Joy Jars Jessie Rees was diagnosed with an inoperable and incurable brain tumor at age 11. As part of an outpatient clinical trial, she was asked to undergo 30 days of radiation and chemotherapy. When she found out that some of the kids in the cancer ward did not get to go home everyday, she decided to do something to cheer them up and give them hope, and Jessie's Joy Jars was born. Before Jessie died a little over 10 months later, she had distributed 3,000 Joy Jars. The Foundation set up in her name has continued her wish and has distributed more than 50,000 Joy Jars to children all over the world. This short video captures her beautiful legacy. { read more } Be The Change Learn more about the Jessie Rees Foundation, which has adopted Jessie's motto: Never ever give up (NEGU). { more } COMMENT | RATE               Related Good News 98-Year-Old Woman Earns Judo's Highest Honor The Impossible Floating Village Football Team A 15-Year-Old's Bucket List Goes Viral A 21-Year-Old's Solution to Homelessness A Cab Ride I'll Never Forget One of the Greatest Love Stories Ever Homeless Kid Wows Korea Mr. Rogers at the Emmy Awards DailyGood is a volunteer-run initiative that delivers "good news" to 126,391 subscribers.
