The Jessica June Children’s Cancer Foundation provides emergency financial assistance and support to children battling cancer and their families across Florida.

In 2004, Sandra Muvdi started the Jessica June Children’s Cancer Foundation (JJCCF), a nonprofit public charity, in memory of her only child. Over the past 21 years, JJCCF has been a beacon of hope and support for local families navigating the many challenges of pediatric cancer.

A diagnosis of childhood cancer creates an immediate medical and emotional crisis often followed by a financial crisis for many families. JJCCF is committed to providing supportive care services and emergency financial relief to help families enduring pediatric cancer pay for everyday necessities such as rent, food and gas for transportation. The direct and tangible temporary financial assistance JJCCF provides is vital to the survival of these children while they receive cancer treatment and prevents a family from a downward spiral. Our purpose is to help bridge the gap between mainstream and disadvantaged families fighting childhood cancer so that all children can have an equal chance to beat cancer.

Our Mission is to help children and their families fight cancer by providing emergency financial assistance for basic human necessities and supportive care services.

Since inception, JJCCF has helped 7,500 children and family members fight pediatric cancer. By year, meet each assisted child on our website.
