Join a community changing what’s possible for children with juvenile myositis.
GEMs is Cure JM’s community of monthly supporters who believe every child deserves better treatments, expert care, and a healthier future.
By Giving Every Month, GEMs provide the steady support that helps advance research, strengthen care, equip families with trusted resources, and keep progress moving throughout the year.
When you become a GEM, you become part of a community committed to standing with children and families every month.

Why Monthly Giving Matters
Families living with Juvenile Myositis do not experience JM in one-time moments. Monthly giving helps ensure Cure JM’s work is steady, reliable, and responsive.
Monthly support helps Cure JM:
- Be present for families throughout the year, not just during campaigns
- Sustain research and clinical care efforts that improve diagnosis and treatment
- Provide ongoing education, connection, and support for children and families
What It Means to Be a GEM
GEMs are individuals who choose to support Cure JM through a recurring monthly gift.
There are no tiers required to participate, and any monthly amount makes a meaningful difference over time. Being a GEM is about consistency and commitment, not comparison.
All GEMs are part of Cure JM’s monthly giving program.
