After 5-Year-Old Leaves For Heaven, Folks Scramble To Fullfill Her Dying Wish
December 11, 2017

"She was fierce and Sassy which helped her in battle. That is how her name 'Sassy Massey' came to be," her family explained. "She handled treatments like it was something that every child endures…never asking what happened or if she was sick."While fighting such a terrible battle, Jillian continued to think of others first. She set a goal during her first stay at the hospital to collect between 50 to 100 toys for other sick kids at the hospital during Christmas. But strangers shattered the sweet girl's goal, donating thousands of toys!
Pushing To Collect Ten Thousand Toys
So, this year, Jillian upped the ante. As her terminal condition worsened, her dying wish was to collect ten thousand toys this year for other children spending days, weeks and months in a hospital. Jesus called this sweet soul home on December 4, before her goal could be met."That's what Jillian loved to do: give to others, spread kindness and cheer. March on knowing that she'd be there if she could. Actually, she will be there, watching over all of us," her mom said.And so, friends, family and strangers alike are clamoring to get enough toys by Christmas. Between 6,000 to 7,000 toys have been donated already. But it will take a huge effort far and wide to hit Jillian's goal. But her loved ones have faith.
"Jillian told us to get to 10,000 toys, and that's what we'll do," a very close family friend, Dan Emmerson, said.For anyone wishing to help, donations are needed by December 13 so the toys can be delivered in time for Christmas. Instructions on how to donate can be found on the Sassy Massey Toy Drive website HERE. With so many toys, there are plans to deliver them to the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia; Lehigh Valley Health Network's Children's Hospital; Doylestown Hospital; and DuPont Children's Hospital in Delaware. While our hearts weep for Jillian's family, what an amazing legacy their sweet girl has left behind. Her selflessness has brought so many people together for such a beautiful cause. h/t: Patch YOU MAY ALSO LIKE: Neighbors Turn Street Purple Just Before A Sick Girl Heads To Heaven
