MIRACLE MONDAYS
If there is one thing we know for sure at Jane's Fund, it's that miracles abound. We see light and love every day through our community partners and projects.
Miracle Mondays are our way of letting you in on more of that magic.
Look for just one example of a miracle in your inbox every Monday. And know that there are so many more where that came from each and every week - all because of your partnership and generosity.
As One RAce Ends, A New One Begins
Three-year-old Will and his race for a cancer cure, good health, and a bright future is nearing an end. His family is helping him finish his race, yet they also begin a new race: surviving life back at home.
Cannot Make It Up
Two 17-year-old boys. Angel and Jesu (“God saves”). Both have brain cancer — a high-grade glioma and DIPG. One lives in Charlotte, the other near Winston-Salem.
Paying it Forward
At Jane’s Fund, we think about celebrating the lives of children who have died of cancer a lot, because the ask for support comes often.
Hope is Alive
After cancer treatment initially worked and then failed, Rory returned home to North Carolina for end-of-life care. And then a miracle happened. Rory made a comeback.
Two Brave Lives
The world abruptly changed this week for two families with a child battling cancer. In the same hospital. On the same day. Unexpected.
Happy Birthday, Jane
Jane's message to all of us as she accepted there would be no cure for DIPG and heaven would be her miracle: "Live and love fearlessly" because the world needs you.
The Gift of Home
“On behalf of my entire family, I want to express our deepest gratitude for the incredible blessing you have given us by helping us pay off our mortgage.”
Heroes Helping Heroes
When a cancer diagnosis changes everything overnight, hospital social workers help families navigate each step by solving problems and simply showing up.
There’s an Exception to Every Rule
A soccer fan for life, 15-year-old Josue has dreamt of attending a World Cup match. Unfortunately, DIPG, a brain tumor with no cure, continues to disrupt Josue’s life and his family’s plans.
The Waiting Room
For four-year-old Tizzy, diagnosed with terminal metastatic kidney cancer, the hardest wait began when treatment options ran out, her body grew weaker, and even breathing requires oxygen support.
Dad Under Pressure
Fixing, helping, and providing are what Dad does best, and nobody understands the anguish of not being able to solve a problem for their child better than our co-founder, Mike Harrell.
Lemons to Lemonade
Lemonade, popsicles, cookies, and more have organically appeared over the years in the form of lemonade stands supporting Jane’s Fund each summer.
Can You Imagine?
Thank you for helping us support 111 families with a child dying from cancer and sponsoring 37 funerals that gave hope for new life.
Moms Do the Hardest Things
Mother’s Day at Jane’s Fund often looks different, because many moms are simply too busy carrying the weight of everyday survival.
When Time is Short, Love Grows Loud
Despite four treatment centers in four years, 16-year-old Lillie refuses to focus on her Ewing's sarcoma (bone tumor) diagnosis.
Because of You
Because of you, more families will be supported in their hardest moments. Because of you, more students will be seen, encouraged, and given opportunities they never thought possible.
Gia’s Home
A rare and aggressive brain tumor diagnosis with impossible decisions to make, no right or wrong answers, becomes an instant reality.
Our “Why”, Part 2
On March 5, community came together to celebrate three years of Jane's Fund, and it was a true miracle to experience the power of strangers laughing and crying together in one space.
