Hi Jacquie, We’re praying for you and thinking about you everyday. We will pray specifically to see a rise in those blood counts! Your strength and courage is an inspiration to so many; and it’s evident from all the love and support shown through this website that you have touched many lives. You have a wonderful, supportive family. Remember, when you find it hard to be strong, you can rely on God and your family to be strong for you. God Bless you; WE BELIEVE!
Hi Jacquie, I work with your cousin Danielle. I just wanted to say how happy I am about your transplant and I wish you a speedy and efficient recovery! My cousins are very important in my life too. I’ve had first hand experience of tragedy in my family. Cousins are awesome and have a special bond!! Get better!
GOOD MORNING FRIEND!! Hope today is a FABULOUS day!! Call me when your up for a funny little story… Love you! Can’t wait to see you soon!! xoxoxo Ash H. ps. My Dad sends a hug from Daytona Bike Week!!! And my Sis says hello too!!! xo
One more day down! We can’t wait for you to come home!! I said an extra prayer last night that your count goes up today. I check your progress everyday. I’m so proud of you and am amazed at your strength. You truly are one of the most unbelievable people I know. Stay strong! Tell your mom and dad that I said hello and think of them daily. Love you! We BELIEVE!
My daughter Jacqueline Elisabeth, -Well, we are starting Day 12, and I pray today will be a Good Day for you. I can’t imagine what you are going through, but it is so very hard to be here with you and not be able to take this away from you and do it for you. Every night before I go to bed, I look back on the day and am amazed at how much you endured and how proud I am of you. Seeing your strength, courage and determination in action is truly an incredible,and humbling sight. I also want use this space to tell your dad and your brother how grateful I am for all the support and love they continue to show us. TJ- the website is Great! What a wonderful gift to your sister, to be able to see how many people care and love her. I know how much time and work you put into it, and it was soooooo worth it. Torey, I know this is hard for you-not being able to spend as much time with Jax as you would like, but all the juggling you have to do to keep the many parts of our lives functioning “normally” is something I wouldn’t be able to do (nor would I want to). You and TJ give me strength everyday, and when I falter, you help me get back on my feet. I love you both so much. So Jacquie, get readyfor another day- the “warden” will be waking you up soon. Keep fighting and always keep believing. My love forever and always, mom
Good Morning Jacquie: Wishing you a great day today. Soon all those G shots will start to work and you will see your wbc start to go up. I am so happy to hear your hip and throat pain has lessened. Each day will bring you more Sunshine. I truly BELIEVE! Good job riding your mini bike. You are motivating me to exercise!
morning jax! I’m so glad to see you were feeling better yesterday. I hope you have another good day today. 🙂 Love you and miss you! Stay strong~We Believe! <3 amanda
Hi Jacquie, I am one of your Aunt Sheryl’s (Meeshe) traveling buddies. Your Aunt has been giving us updates, often. What stands out most is her telling us how strong you are. Keep that determination and know that there are many people that are thinking about you and praying for you. We all ’Believe’ in you. Kim, aka Sonya
Hi Sweetheart. Now I love having a computer–so I can keep up to date with you. Good days are just around the corner so just keep up the good work. You are teaching all of us the true meaning of strength and courage and I’m so proud of you. You are THE BEST! I hope tomorrow is a better day for you. Give my love to your Mom and Dad. I love you and I believe!
Hey Jax, I am so happy to hear that the shots you have been receiving are starting to show signs of working! I know that they will and you will be feeling better soon!! I am praying for you and I can’t wait till you are feeling less pain..Only a little longer, stay strong!
Hi you two!! Miss you BOTH and I think of you often! I like being able to read the updates… I can picture you talking back to the TV commercials!! Jacquie, you sooo remind me of Jen, she wouldn’t use her pain pump either. I remember one day Angel having to have a “talk” with her which sounds similar to the one you just had!! I heard back from TJ today so now I have his email. I will update him on Jen’s doc appt. today. I am sorry cancer is what brought us together, but I am grateful to have you in my life. You are close in thought and prayer. hugs. Pam
Jacquie, woo for day 11!!! I just wanted to say I love you so much & keep up the good work, you are doing amazing.In my heart & on my mind ALWAYS.<3 delisha <3
Hi Jacquie! You have never met me, but i worked with your Aunt Sheryl at Jim Doyle Ford. I donated some basket stuff for the benefit that they had for you . Aunt Sheryl has been keeping me updated about your progress and i am really glad to hear that you are doing good. God doesn’t make mistakes…He has plans for each and everyone of us . Sometimes we cannot understand why we need to go through things, or why things are the way they are…but i have learned that no matter what comes my way…HE still loves and cares about me and is always there. Just as He is there for and with you. I pray that you will have renewed strength and a sweet innner peace. God Bless!
Hey you…today is day 11 and I really, truly hope its a good one…I love to hear all the updates and I especially loved looking at the pictures of your tink over taken bedroom! The amount of love & support for you is unbelievable (yet, still not suprising for a person as amazing & lovable as YOU are!). I know your being strong and positive every day…which in turn, gives me strength and courage more than you know. I took my class on a field trip to the childrens museum…i had 3 adults and sixteen 4/5 year olds – needless to say I was bug-eyed the whole time and constantly counting heads, it was more stressful than a learning experience! But I thought of you and I took some pictures to share so I’ll be sending them your way! Love you so much…thinking of you always…can’t wait until we can teach/go on field trips side by side! SOMEDAY SOON!!!!! LOVE YOU JAX ATTACK!
Jacquie Sue and I talk about you often, and think about you a lot. You and your Family are a very loving and giving Family, you have all of our Support and Love. Larry Carriere
Hey momDay 11!! woohoo! Hope you have a good day. When things get bad keep smiling and remember that there are thousands of people believing in you.XOXOXOXOXOXOXOBrina
Good Morning Jacquie, Tried to send a message a few days ago and had some trouble. I really hope that the pain lessons with each passing moment and that your appetite will continue on an upswing. Hang in there. I can only imagine the cabin fever. I think of you and your mom all the time. Daydream and hopefully the days will pass quickly and soon you will be back home. Love and hugs and strength, always being sent your way. Love, Sara
Hi Jacquie, Day Ten, You go girl!! With each day that passes, Corey and I add one clap! This morning we clapped ten times!!! Its getting louder with each day you get stronger!! Just Think of the thundering applause at day 100! Clapping and Beliving! Love Missy
Good morning from AZ…I look to the east as the sun rises this morning and read your updates, and see that you are having some tough times lately…I see the pictures of your room and all the things you have on the walls from your friends and family…You have the support from so many, from so far, you got this thing licked…so what about the commercials…at least it isn’t Mighty or Bocces or something local you really like…but just think how it will taste when you are done…I’m in AZ and don’t have a Mighty!(yet I do have the real thing nearby in Mexico)… So keep on chugging along and I’ll watch that sun come up each morning out my construction trailer and know you are fine…and fighting…and believing… xoxo ms
somehow you managed to deliver me the most beautiful bouquet of flowers from 500 miles away.

Wooo for day 10!!! Congrats on making it so far my love! Can you believe you are now 10 days closer to eating pizza hut breadsticks, arby’s beef & cheddar, and mia’s pizza (not to mention steak & potatoes, steak & potatoes, steak and potatoes!!!) I know at times days probably seem like weeks and weeks seem like months, but just think that in the grand scheme of things, 100 days is nothing; just a small fraction of one year of your life. And you are already 10 days down in the 100! So whenever you get really down, or frustrated, or feel lonely, just remember that each day gets you closer to your goal. You are doing so well and are being so incredibly strong and brave. I am so happy to hear that the smiles and laughs greatly outnumber the tears. And when you are feeling frustrated and alone, just know how many people hold you in a special place in their hearts. We all love you so much, and are rooting for you all the way. You have already shown the world that you can do this, its just a matter of time before this is all a part of your past. “the human spirit is stronger than anything that can happen to it” So keep on fighting. I love you so much!!!WE BELIEVE<3 delisha <3 xoxoxoxoxo
I agree, so I’ve decided to boycott Taco Bell, Red Lobster, Applebees, TGI Fridays, and Pizza Hut. However, when you get home, we’ll go to all of them together…on the same day…for breakfast. ttyl 🙂
My Precious Granddaughter, There are no words to tell you how proud I am of you. I’m so sorry you’re having some bad days–I wish I could take them for you. I think of you and your Mom all the time–my heart is there with you. Stay brave and strong and keep flashing that beautiful smile. Every day (even the bad ones) brings you one day closer to home. I love you and I BELIEVE. Give my love to your Mom and Dad. Remember how much I love you and how proud I am of you.
Hi there Jacquie -I’ve been without a computer for a few days, so once we were up and running the first thing I did was open up to your news. Whew – lots going on. Keep up the fight and as always, I’m sending you lots of love and prayers. Daisey would even send you a tail wag and a face lick if she could! ~Kathy
Dear Jacquie- I am a friend of Aunt Sheryl’s and also work with Marilyn Adams, whose son,Matt is dating Ashley (your friend!)- My husband and I attended your benefit and were overwhelmed at the generosity and support of those who love you- you are blessed by such loving spirit- May each day bring you closer to your goal and may you be embraced by the love of others- Bless you- Wendy
Greetings Jacquita-Banana!! Sending you love and strength from my heart. You have amazed me from the day I met you, and you continue to amaze me each and every day. You are a strong, brave warrior and your courage is contagious. Thinking of you and your family….and BELIEVING!!! XOXO
Hi, Jacquie: My mom is typing this for me. When you feel better, you can come to your Aunt Sheryl’s house to spend the night with me and my buddy, Christine. You can play with the dogs with me. I like the pictures of your room! Love, Jacob
Happy March!!!You are doing so great =) It is so good to hear that you are staying strong and continue to fight like an SDT would! Reading your updates everyday just proves that you are the most amazing girl I have ever met. Can’t wait to read the next one!!!I LOVE YOU BEST FRIEND….*****justine*****
Jax, You have been in my thoughts and prayers ever since I heard the news. I am glad to read that you are going strong and giving it your all to fight this. You really are an amazing young woman. From being your guardian (and apm), I knew that you were so strong and brave and that you could take on anything. I have been inspired by your courage as I am sure many others have been as well. Stay strong! You can do this…I believe in you!! You are in my thoughts and prayers. Love, Amanda
Hi Jaquie, We are Dara Jenkusky’s Aunt and Uncle and we donated to her half marathon in honor of you. We watched your video and read your story and you are truly an inspiration to us. We have never met but just from your smile, your family, and friends and the name Tink – we can just see what a great personality you have, the type of friend and competitor you are. Take one day at a time and be the competitor you have always been!!! Tink Positive!! Hope to meet you in the future!!! Best, Linda & Michael Ferrara
Hi Jacquie, We been following your progress everyday. You’re one amazing lady! You also have a fantastic family supporting you. We’ve posted your picture (smart and beautiful- what a combo!) at our church. Everyone is praying for you. You “keep on keepin’ on” girl – you will beat this. Harry, Penny, Nikki, Sean Jen, JJ, and Casey PS – I’ve been to NYC on biz many times, and the other messages you received are correct, NYC stinks when it gets warm. So get out of there ASAP! WE BELIEVE
Hey Hirschy! 1) It was sooo good to talk to you the other day:o) It made my day and my week, you have no idea. 2) I’m so happy to hear you’re doing so well! (Even happier to hear you’re hittin that mini bike again!-you’re warm up tape and matching headbands are coming) The pics of your room look awesome and it’s nice to see that you hang that love up all around you. Keep truckin and know you’ve got a million people cheering you on…day 100 here you come;o)

Hey Jax! I read about your progress everyday! It’s so good to know that you’re pulling through and beating this so well! I wish so badly that you were at least at a hospital closer to home so we could all come see you and try to brighten your day! Whatever you’re doing don’t stop, cause it seems to be working!!! I knew you’d beat this! I wish you were home…Ang and I went to meet hot, sexy Johnny Zaccharra from GH tonight! We were such crazy lunatic fans, I’m shocked that we didn’t get kicked out for being stalkers! You would’ve been proud of us…or embarrassed…either way, we took pictures! Can’t wait to show you! Don’t worry about being stuck in your room. You get to catch up on soaps, hopefully GH! Plus, the weather sucks so you’re not missing anything and your room is decorated sooo cute! Well get some rest and stay strong!!! I love you and can’t wait for you to come home! ~XOXO~ *BELIEVE*
Hey Tink! Mommy fed me some bananas and strawberries today. They were so good. I thought of you knowing that you are an expert of all things food. I’ll save some for you so we can have some together when you come home. Miss you!!! Livie
Jacquie — Wow! What amazing progress you’ve made! I’m constantly checking this incredible website TJ crafted and am always so happy to read how well you’re doing under such a stressful situation. Although we don’t know each other… knowing your parents, I’m not surprised at all at how strong and determined you are — incredible qualities that will carry you through this trying journey — keep fighting… you’ll surely win! WE ALL BELIEVE!!! Love — Elise, Marty, Quintin, Aidan, Gabriel & Fiona PS — Quintin (Age 6) & Aidan (4) tried to write their emails to you today, but clearly we need about 5 solid hours to accomplish that feat, but keep an eye out for them since they really want to write to you! They were soooo excited when they saw the cards they made for you hanging on your bedroom wall! And Gabriel (2) loves all the Tinkerbell pictures! We all continue to think about you and pray for you every day!!!
So, another day down and I hear it was a good one. You go girl…keep it up. I know it must be so hard to have to stay in that room all the time, but just think about all the great times we’re gonna have afterwards. You can do this cuz we allBELIEVE! I know it sucks and some days are gonna be harder than others, but just remember that the chicken wing dip is just around the corner, so keep on smiling. Everything happens for a reason, although I’m not really sure WHY half the time, but we must drive over those speed bumps to get to where we’re going! I wish there was some way to make this all disappear. I’m sad most of the time when I think about what you are going through, and TJ and your mom and dad…it just isn’t fair. And I hear songs on the radio that make me sad, too. But that is how I know you will get through this. You are stronger than me. And you inspire me to BELIEVE that everything DOES happen for a reason. There are so many good days ahead for you, I just know it! I love you so much!! See you soon.
Glad to hear things are going as well as can be expected post transplant for you. I see on the website you have some friends running and riding Team In Training Events this summer for you. I will go to their websites and donate to them. My next marathon, half-marathon, or triatholon is going to be for you!!! The Buffalo chapter or TNT is suppose to be announcing their first triatholone and as soon as they do I’m in, for you kiddo!!! Keep your head up and keep fighting, we are all thinking of you and pulling for you everyday.

And you are already 10 days down in the 100! So whenever you get really down, or frustrated, or feel lonely, just remember that each day gets you closer to your goal. You are doing so well and are being so incredibly strong and brave. I am so happy to hear that the smiles and laughs greatly outnumber the tears. And when you are feeling frustrated and alone, just know how many people hold you in a special place in their hearts. We all love you so much, and are rooting for you all the way. You have already shown the world that you can do this, its just a matter of time before this is all a part of your past. “the human spirit is stronger than anything that can happen to it” So keep on fighting. I love you so much!!!WE BELIEVE<3 delisha <3 xoxoxoxoxo

I agree, so I’ve decided to boycott Taco Bell, Red Lobster, Applebees, TGI Fridays, and Pizza Hut. However, when you get home, we’ll go to all of them together…on the same day…for breakfast. ttyl 🙂

My Precious Granddaughter, There are no words to tell you how proud I am of you. I’m so sorry you’re having some bad days–I wish I could take them for you. I think of you and your Mom all the time–my heart is there with you. Stay brave and strong and keep flashing that beautiful smile. Every day (even the bad ones) brings you one day closer to home. I love you and I BELIEVE. Give my love to your Mom and Dad. Remember how much I love you and how proud I am of you.

Hi there Jacquie -I’ve been without a computer for a few days, so once we were up and running the first thing I did was open up to your news. Whew – lots going on. Keep up the fight and as always, I’m sending you lots of love and prayers. Daisey would even send you a tail wag and a face lick if she could! ~Kathy

Jax, You have been in my thoughts and prayers ever since I heard the news. I am glad to read that you are going strong and giving it your all to fight this. You really are an amazing young woman. From being your guardian (and apm), I knew that you were so strong and brave and that you could take on anything. I have been inspired by your courage as I am sure many others have been as well. Stay strong! You can do this…I believe in you!! You are in my thoughts and prayers. Love, Amanda

We’ve posted your picture (smart and beautiful- what a combo!) at our church. Everyone is praying for you. You “keep on keepin’ on” girl – you will beat this. Harry, Penny, Nikki, Sean Jen, JJ, and Casey PS – I’ve been to NYC on biz many times, and the other messages you received are correct, NYC stinks when it gets warm. So get out of there ASAP!

Hey Jax! I read about your progress everyday! It’s so good to know that you’re pulling through and beating this so well! I wish so badly that you were at least at a hospital closer to home so we could all come see you and try to brighten your day! Whatever you’re doing don’t stop, cause it seems to be working!!! I knew you’d beat this! I wish you were home…Ang and I went to meet hot, sexy Johnny Zaccharra from GH tonight! We were such crazy lunatic fans, I’m shocked that we didn’t get kicked out for being stalkers! You would’ve been proud of us…or embarrassed…either way, we took pictures! Can’t wait to show you! Don’t worry about being stuck in your room. You get to catch up on soaps, hopefully GH! Plus, the weather sucks so you’re not missing anything and your room is decorated sooo cute! Well get some rest and stay strong!!! I love you and can’t wait for you to come home! ~XOXO~ *BELIEVE*

Hey Tink! Mommy fed me some bananas and strawberries today. They were so good. I thought of you knowing that you are an expert of all things food. I’ll save some for you so we can have some together when you come home. Miss you!!! Livie

Jacquie — Wow! What amazing progress you’ve made! I’m constantly checking this incredible website TJ crafted and am always so happy to read how well you’re doing under such a stressful situation. Although we don’t know each other… knowing your parents, I’m not surprised at all at how strong and determined you are — incredible qualities that will carry you through this trying journey — keep fighting… you’ll surely win! WE ALL BELIEVE!!! Love — Elise, Marty, Quintin, Aidan, Gabriel & Fiona PS — Quintin (Age 6) & Aidan (4) tried to write their emails to you today, but clearly we need about 5 solid hours to accomplish that feat, but keep an eye out for them since they really want to write to you! They were soooo excited when they saw the cards they made for you hanging on your bedroom wall! And Gabriel (2) loves all the Tinkerbell pictures! We all continue to think about you and pray for you every day!!!

So, another day down and I hear it was a good one. You go girl…keep it up. I know it must be so hard to have to stay in that room all the time, but just think about all the great times we’re gonna have afterwards. You can do this cuz we allBELIEVE! I know it sucks and some days are gonna be harder than others, but just remember that the chicken wing dip is just around the corner, so keep on smiling. Everything happens for a reason, although I’m not really sure WHY half the time, but we must drive over those speed bumps to get to where we’re going! I wish there was some way to make this all disappear. I’m sad most of the time when I think about what you are going through, and TJ and your mom and dad…it just isn’t fair. And I hear songs on the radio that make me sad, too. But that is how I know you will get through this. You are stronger than me. And you inspire me to BELIEVE that everything DOES happen for a reason. There are so many good days ahead for you, I just know it! I love you so much!! See you soon.
