A girl fighting her own battle asks what she can do to help bring joy to other sick kids...a true fighter, hero and inspiration

Jessica Rees was diagnosed with a brain tumor at age 11.
When she saw other children having to stay in the hospital, she wanted to help "make them happier, because I know they're going through a lot," she said.
So she started making JoyJars -- containers full of toys, stickers, crayons, anything that might brighten a child's day....

  2. Yes, quite an amazing little girl who unfortunately lost her battle this year, but her legacy and story carries on through the foundation that she founded with her parents - one of a kind grateful, special and selfless little girl.
