Lifting Hearts with Hope - The Jadyn Fred Foundation
The paper crane has become an international symbol of peace in recent years as a result of
it's connection to the story of a young Japanese girl named Sadako Sasaki born in 1943.
Sadako was two years old when the atom bomb was dropped on Hiroshima, Japan on
August 6, 1945. As she grew up, Sadako was a strong, courageous and athletic girl. In 1955,
at age 11, while practicing for a big race, she became dizzy and fell to
the ground. Sadako was diagnosed with Leukemia, "the atom bomb" disease.
Sadako's best friend told her of an old Japanese legend which said that anyone who
folds a thousand paper cranes would be granted a wish. Sadako hoped that the gods would
grant her a wish to get well so that she could run again. She started to work on the paper
cranes and completed over 1000 before dying on October 25, 1955 at the age of twelve.

Sadako never gave up. She continued to make paper cranes until she died. Inspired by her
courage and strength, Sadako's friends and classmates put together a book of her letters and
published it. They began to dream of building a monument to Sadako and all of the children killed
by the atom bomb. Young people all over Japan helped collect money for the project. In 1958, a
statue of Sadako holding a golden crane was unveiled in Hiroshima Peace Park. The children also
made a wish which is inscribed at the bottom of the statue and reads: "This is our cry, This is our
prayer, Peace in the world".

Please join Kenshin Soga, a foreign exchange student from Hiroshima, Japan who is
living in Missoula with the Breidenbach family, and learn to fold a paper crane.
Following Sadako and the Japanese legend, we hope to
fold a thousand paper cranes to grant the wish of health
for 9-year old Logan Smith and all of children fighting
cancer. We have an entire room at the fair for the cranes
and we need your help!
Like so many others, Logan and his family are
fighting the battle of their lives. Logan has renal cell
carcinoma and is receiving treatment in Seattle for
many weeks to come.
