Jenna’s Friendship Circle
Real mail. Real connection. No login required.
Jenna’s Friendship Circle connects brain tumor survivors and friends the old-fashioned way — through your mailbox. Every other month you’ll get something special, made to brighten your day.
The program is run by young adult brain tumor survivors who want to give back, and funded by Jenna’s Rainbow Foundation. It’s named in honor of Jenna Kamil, who died from a brain-stem tumor in 1999 at age seven, and who wished “the world would stay a rainbow.”
