One of my mother's passions in life was children. She demonstrated this not only through her children and grandchildren, but also as an educator, an active member of her churches and as a volunteer working with the children of migrant-worker families in Florida. She and my father gave generously of their time and money to a variety of causes that benefitted children over the course of their lifetimes, including annual contributions to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.
Your generous donation and loving thoughts are a light of hope to St. Jude children and their families. St. Jude is leading the way the world understands, treats and defeats childhood cancer and other life-threatening diseases.
It costs a lot for St. Jude to cure a child with cancer using the latest technologies and care. But because of donations, the price for patient families is $0. Families never receive a bill from St. Jude for anything.
Many families come to St. Jude thinking it's like any other hospital. They expect to pay high fees to get their child the best care. They're overwhelmed with gratitude when they learn St. Jude works to save their child's life for free using world-class care.
Your donations make this possible and give parents hope.
