Mission
The mission of jessica june children's cancer foundation (the "organization") is to help children and their families fight cancer by providing emergency financial assistance for basic human necessities and supportive care services. Executing the mission of the organization represents a lifeline for many underserved children and their family members during their pediatric cancer battle. No family should have to deal with such distress at this dreadful time in their life when their main concern should be saving their child's life. A diagnosis of childhood cancer creates an immediate medical and emotional crisis while also creating a financial crisis for many families. The organization is committed to providing emergency financial relief to help families enduring pediatric cancer pay for everyday necessities such as medical, utilities, rent, mortgage, car, gas, and groceries. This direct and tangible temporary financial assistance relieves crises, provides stabilization, and ultimately gi
Programs
3 programs
Supportive care services program: since jjccf was created, the program has been providing emotional/ bereavement support, respite options, advocacy, collaboration, in-kind gift card distribution (mostly for groceries), wish granting/matching and access to our other programs. The program's purpose is to provide hope and alleviate the temporary multiple crises families face after they are told "your child has cancer". S. Muvdi (jjccf's ceo/founder) personally manages the program and offers unique qualifications to support families facing childhood cancer crises. Having experienced her own battles with blood (loss of daughter), lung (loss of mother), and breast cancer (survivor), muvdi directly connects with families, providing both emotional and practical support. Fluent in spanish, she can communicate with spanish-speaking families, offering comfort in their native language during difficult times.
Endowment program: the organization has transferred assets to the community foundation of broward (the "foundation") which is holding them as an endowed component fund ("fund") for the benefit of the organization. The purpose of the fund is to further or carry out the charitable purpose of the organization in perpetuity. In the event the jessica june children's cancer foundation, inc. Should cease to exist, the fund shall convert to a field of interest fund that will provide financial assistance (not in cash) for low-income families with children ages 0-17 fighting cancer to ensure access to basic human necessities. The organization has granted the community foundation of broward (the "foundation") variance power which gives the foundation's board of trustees the power to use the fund for other purposes in certain circumstances. The fund is subject to the foundation's investment and spending policies which currently result in a distribution to the organization of 5 percent of the 12-quarter weighted average of the fair market value of the fund. For the year ended december 31, 2024, an additional contribution of seventy-five thousand (75,000) was contributed to the endowment fund by the organization. The total contributed as of december 31, 2024, was 375,000.
Advocacy program - a last resort program which generates financial support from the community to further assist children/families with extreme needs. The organization raises funds and awareness by posting and sharing children's stories on its website, social media pages, newsletters, and reaching out to collaborating charities. Our targeted fundraising generates additional funding and support so families can maintain their basic human necessities. Contributors can donate funds or gift cards in honor of a child to help the family survive a temporary crisis due to cancer. Share the joy program - the contribution program created in 2010 encourages local businesses, organizations, and individuals to donate a minimum of 2,000 for the sponsorship of a family in crisis battling childhood cancer. 100% of the funds donated provide the family with check payments or gift cards to cover their basic human needs such as rent, utility, medical, car, gas, and food. "share the joy" ceremonies include the benefiting child, family members,the organization's staff, donor(s) and optional guests. In lieu of a ceremony, donors can request the story and photo of the benefited child. The program results are of impact both to the donor and to the benefiting family who share feelings of joy from either giving or receiving a meaningful gift. Since inception, the share the joy program has assisted 538 individuals.
