SynopsisWhen Jessica Joy Rees is diagnosed with two inoperable brain tumors at age 11, she focuses on bringing hope, joy, and love to other children fighting cancer through her Never Ever Give Up message and fun-filled JoyJars---64oz plastic jars filled with toys and love delivered throughout the world., It started with a simple question: How can we help them? It became an international movement called NEGU: Never Ever Give Up. When Jessica Joy Rees was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor at age 11, she chose to focus not on herself but on bringing joy and hope to other children suffering from cancer. During the ten months she battled cancer, she and her family worked in the "Joy Factory" (originally their garage) making JoyJars®--packages filled with toys, games, and love for other kids with cancer. Jessie first handed them out personally at the hospital where she was being treated, but the effort blossomed quickly and there were soon thousands of JoyJars® being distributed across the United States and to over fifteen countries. Today, more than 100,000 kids have received JoyJars®, and they continue shipping each week to kids in over 200 children's hospitals and 175 Ronald McDonald Houses. Jessie lost her battle with cancer in January 2012, but her message lives on in the Jessie Rees Foundation, which has become a beacon of hope for families fighting pediatric cancer.

  • Fantastic as this was Jessie’s motto.

    This is a wonderful true story about how a 12 year old girl who started a project that has been carried on by her parents, sister & brother! Sad & I cried again reading the book. I had read this book before years ago, but it was a friend’s copy & i had to give it back & I wanted my own copy. My friend works for the Jessie Rees Foundation & she started me making beanie hats for these courageous kids fighting cancer & I’m happy to say I have knitted over 500 of these hats & I love doing it & I love supporting Jessie’s dream to NEGU!
