Dear JEM Project: Thank You for Donating in My Sister’s Name
Tonight our last ‘Thank You’ letter giving thanks for The JEM Project’s $250,000 donation to ISF is from Madison’s Sister, Riley. Short, sweet and exactly what we all are hoping for… our dream of no more cancer comes true.
Dear JEM Project,
I am Riley and I’m Madison Fedak’s sister. You don’t know how much it means to me that you donated your money to the Isabella Santos Foundation to help fund osteosarcoma research in my sister’s name. Thank you so much for putting upon yourself this selfless deed. Once again thank you for donating so that in the near future my dream will come true no child will be diagnosed with cancer ever again.
With love,
Riley Fedak, Madison’s Sister

Dear JEM Project: Thank You for Your Contribution To Our Goal of Finding a Cure
It’s hard to put into words how grateful we are for the impact The JEM Project’s $250,000 donation to ISF is creating for kids fighting rare pediatric cancer and for our community. Follow along this week as we share ‘Thank You’ letters from many of those who feel the incredible significance of their gift.
Thank you to Madison’s Dad, Mickey, for sharing is thanks…
Dear JEM Foundation,
I first want to send my sincerest thanks for your generous giving to a cause that is so important to my family.
Madison was to so many people, different things. To me she was the best part of me. She was the person, at seven, that I wish I could be: kind, full of life, and never knew a stranger. She lived life to the fullest……
That was cut short and it is devastating to my family. Through research and grants my family hope and pray that others will not have to go through what we have. Some day families will have better outcomes. Those days are coming sooner with generous gifts to research and we truly appreciate your contribution to our goal of finding a cure.
Thank you again,
MIchael, Madison’s Dad

Facebook Fundraiser Feature: Emily & Gia
This Facebook Fundraiser hit us in the hearts when it showed up on Isabella’s Birthday in March! We are so honored Emily chose to raise money for ISF in Isabella’s name for Gia’s birthday (and Isabella’s!). Emily and Gia surpassed their $250 goal and raised $335 during the day. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts Emily, Gia and friends for your support!
[March 9, 2020] “Today is Gia’s birthday. I’ve been able to enjoy a decade with her – the best ten years of my life. What a blessing it is to be a mom, and to have a healthy child! Today would have been Isabella’s 15th birthday, but she didn’t live to see her 8th. Every year when this day rolls around, I am thrilled to mark another year with my best girl, but that joy always comes with a pause as I think of Isabella.
I got to meet Isabella when I worked at the Ronald McDonald House of Charlotte. She would show up with her mom or dad and help us to fundraise. Even though she and her family were going through one of the most difficult things any family can go through, there they would be, out helping us to raise money for other families who had children being treated at the hospital. I was always in awe of this dedication to assisting others.
I don’t have much to give, but I gave anyway. I gave because I am so blessed to have a healthy child who is celebrating her 10th birthday today. I gave because I truly believe that every dollar matters in the fight against pediatric cancer. I gave in honor of Isabella.”
-Emily, Gia’s Mom
