Even while dying of pediatric cancer, somehow it’s the child who directs the path forward — who smiles at the end of the fight and teaches the rest of the family how to keep going.  

Buzzy and Lydia are getting married this weekend and selflessly listed Jane’s Fund on their wedding registry to donate as an option for their wedding gift.

Help us turn Brooklyn's hospital room into a comfy space, prep a nearby apartment for the family to live close to the hospital, and buy a new car to replace the family's worn vehicle. 

Married with four kids, working a steady job, weekends filled with cookouts, homework, and basketball practice… that was life. A simple, joyful rhythm — one Dad hardly remembers, let alone imagines now.

Kayla and her sons, 14-year-old Malachi and 11-year-old Justin, were planning to celebrate the start of summer today. But instead of enjoying the break, Malachi woke up confused and unable to walk.

Exhausted, running on empty, and often wishing for a parenting manual, moms press on. Even when they don’t have the answers, moms always know when something is “off.” 

Imagine being 6 months pregnant with a healthy baby and an ordinary doctor visit for a toddler turns into an extraordinarily painful diagnosis of acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

"Ringing the bell” at a cancer center is a tradition created to celebrate the completion of chemotherapy or radiation, a victory over cancer, and the celebration of new life ahead. 

At Jane’s Fund, we are not only honored to support children in our community — we are continually humbled and inspired by the incredible ways children show up to support us, too. 

No child (or family) has the mental capacity to fully comprehend the diagnosis of terminal pediatric cancer, nor can they wrap their head around the death of their child. 

Diagnosed with osteosarcoma (a bone tumor in the upper arm near the shoulder at age 15), Susannah battles reoccurring health setbacks and challenges.

When a child has a cancer diagnosis with a poor prognosis, the rhythm of life for the entire family rises and falls around oncology appointments, chemotherapy, radiation, and scans.

My name is Alyssa and I am the social worker for the bone marrow transplant patients at Levine Children’s hospital. I am reaching out today to see if Jane’s Fund could help out one of my patients.

Jane's Fund is celebrating February with stories of LOVE that make miracles...not the kind of love where someone expects a favor or something in return but a LOVE that creates awe and wonder. 

Sisters may fight, compete, or live in their own bubble, but when life goes sideways and one needs help...WATCH OUT WORLD! 

Few know what happens to the parents of a healthy family when their 22-month-old is diagnosed with ATRT (atypical teratoid rhabdoid tumor), a highly aggressive pediatric brain tumor.

No parent prepares for a life-threatening cancer diagnosis for their child; nor do parents save $10,000 in anticipation of a funeral.

We continue to be in awe of the daily miracles happening at Jane’s Fund, and it’s YOU and your generosity that enable us to act immediately “in the right place, at the right time."

The first week of middle school, Annie had a seizure at school and shortly after was diagnosed in the emergency room with a brain tumor.

Dear Jane’s Fund, I have a brain tumor and had to leave school last year in 11th grade to start radiation treatments because my vision turned double and I kept falling down.
