Dear Jenkins Family,
Your precious Jaelah is yet so beautiful. Our prayers will not stop for you all. Her face is etched in my heart forever. God will somehow give you all strength. Stay in the moment and just keep loving her up every second. We are sending lots of prayers and love your way. I'll be in touch, your family is very inspiring. Be Strong.
Gina

Memories last a lifetime. Jaelah has impacted all of our lives in a tremendous way, as have you guys with your selflessness through it all. I love you guys so much. Give Jaelah kisses from all of us here in NC.

God is so good!! Jaelah's Yannis - her name means Clearly a Gift from God. Jaelah is such a wonderful, loving and free spirited little girl. She was continuely expressing her love to her family in so many ways in her hugs and kisses and to the notes she would slip under her sister's door. Her parents have been steadfast in loving and caring for Jaelah.
I can not believe Gina & Joe that I to knew your daughter Priscilla--your precious angel. I am great friends with your mother Gina and had the pleasure of meeting you. An was in attendance at her benefit and on other subsequent occasions.
I told Jaelah's mom who Priscilla's grandmother is, and she to knows her. The odds of two wonderful families having beautiful little girls stricken with the same rare disease. The Jenkins family could benefit from learning of your experience.
I love you JAELAH and FAMILY!!!! From Ti Ti Toni

Hi Toni & Yanick,
OMG Toni I remember you :) Now my heart is breaking all over again. This family is so lucky to have you in there corner. Mom just returned from a trip,but she is going to be so upset when she finds out. This disease happens too much for these doctors to still be saying it is rare. No it isn't rare any more, and they should be trying much harder to find out why. YOU are not alone my friends, we are here with you standing guard for whatever you need. May God's healing hand comfort sweet Jaelah right now and bring more angels to your home. I'm so sorry you are all going through this nightmare. Please give Jaelah a big kiss for me. Priscilla's mommy, Gina

My heart goes out to Jaelah and her family. My Mom suffered the same disease. Treasuring each day is the best medicine for the family.
I hope to meet you on Aug. 3rd.
Love & peace to all.

Jaelah's story is touchy it brings into prespective the importance of love and family. May God Bless and strengthen you!

My thoughts and prays go out to the family. Stay strong, she needs you.

When we heard of Jaelah's illness way back in February, we were devastated. Jaelah has touched us in so many ways. I still remember the first time I saw her. She was maybe a little over one and was learning to walk. She was walking up and down in front of the house with her mother. It wasn't long before she was an extremely active little girl, getting the most out of every day. She and my daughter Kelsey became fast friends. I remember when she was about 3 and went swimming in our pool for the first time. She was scared to death...her eyes huge as she flailled to the side of the pool. She didn't trust the floatation jacket and didn't believe I wouldn't let her drown, but within days she was confident and swimming like a pro. It wasn't long before Jaelah insisted on swimming without the life jacket. When I told her she couldn't swim without it, she sat on a chair, with her arms folded, and refused to swim. She stubbornly refused to wear that jacket until we agreed to let her swim without it. And she proved she indeed didn't need it anymore. Jaelah had a delighful sense of humor. She would be running and jumping like crazy when there would be a thump and a small voice would shout "I'm ok." I had to hide my grin as I told her to settle down before she got hurt. Jaelah and Kelsey were like sisters. They were inseparable most days, jealous when other friends came around, and sometimes fought like cats and dogs, but they always got back together. When Jaelah became ill, she and Kelsey weren't speaking. Kelsey and I went to the hospital and Kelsey was so afraid Jaelah wouldn't see her or forgive her. But just like all the other times, they instantly bonded, their differences gone again. Kelsey tries to see Jaelah every day now. She gives me up-to-date reports on Jaelah's condition. Sometimes when I don't think about it, if feels normal.....Kelsey going over to Jaelah's. But then when she doesn't ask for Jaelah to come along with us or to sleep over, I remember.
Our prayers are with Jaelah and the Jenkins. The Jenkins have always been such warm and giving people. They have made Kelsey feel at home and treat her like one of their own. When I worked with Terrence at Kensington H.S. he was wonderful with the students that nobody else wanted to bother with. And he often offered to speak to older children when I was having problems.
God works in mysterious ways.While we can question his wisdom of inflicting illness on such a wonderful child, we must accept it and learn. Jaelah's illness has made me realize the importance of family and spending quality time with my children and loved ones. I have watched Kelsey turn from a self absorbed child to a giving, caring, selfless human being. We have all become aware of how fragile life is and how one minute can change and entire lifetime.

God bless Jaelah and her family. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Never give up faith!

i offer up my prayers for u all and may God in his wisdom touch this girl with His mighty hands and lift her up. I have this one thing to say that children are a gift from God and he just loans them to us for just a little while and when they return to Him they look down and tell us that they are home and not to worry because they are at peace. but just to let u know we will not stop praying for her and knowing that God has the power to eradicate desease in any form .

My heart was deeply touched by this news report... Will there be a follow-up to this report? Because I would love to follow this story...
Thank you for your concern and compassion to reach out and report a quality life changing event.

I want to send my thoughts and prayers to the family. 11 years ago I lost my high school boyfriend to the exact same cancer. Enjoy every moment you have together.

Dear Jenkins Family,
Pleas know that we are all praying with you for Jaelah. May you find comfort and strength knowing that we are all petitioning the throne of God with you for a miracle.

As my mom has said in her story me and Jaelah had an on and off relationship. We were like sisters...we had our good times, but also fought often. When I found out she was sick I hadn't been speaking to her. I honestly don't even remember what we were fighting about. Everyday I see her, but I know that it is not the same. If I could go back I would change the moment and take back some words. Jaelah has tought me that you should never stay mad or hold a grudge. I still love her like a sister and always will.

Thank you so much!

My heart and prayers go out to Jaelah and her family. my daughter Katie had a brain tumor 13 years ago so I know what they are going through. Don't give up. Miracles can happen. I believe that "Children of Cancer" are true Angels. God bless.
