Welcome to JJW2H
Jill Just Wants 2 Help (JJW2H) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing assistance to families with children and young adults undergoing cancer treatment. Created in 2009 in memory of Jillian Siegel, the organization’s mission captures her extraordinary spirit and lifelong devotion to making a difference.
Contributions to JJW2H go to a dedicated endowment fund at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, with the goal of building Jill’s House, a home that will provide shelter and support to families whose children are receiving care at the hospital. Until Jill’s House can be built, interest earned on the Fund serves a vital role in providing financial assistance to families trying to meet every day needs while caring for a child in the hospital.

The moment when Phil and Nancy Siegel realized their daughter had found a new calling came in a hospital room.
Jillian A. Siegel, 20, was battling acute myeloid leukemia at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, but the Pennsylvania State University sophomore was working the phones and writing letters to help organize Thon, the giant annual charity dance marathon at her school.
"We thought, 'We've got to stop this, she's got to rest,' " said Nancy Siegel, of Blue Bell. "But then we thought, this is the passion that you want your child to have."
