Because the majority of St. Jude funding comes from generous donors, St. Jude has the freedom to focus on what matters most — saving kids regardless of their financial situation. Every dollar makes a difference.

$5

Could help provide 167 pediatric bandages for children during hospital visits.

$10

Could help provide 48 infant diapers to babies undergoing treatment.

$25

Help provide a St. Jude family with meals for one day in the Kay Kafe, the St. Jude cafeteria.

$57

Could help provide 14 thermometers for doctors to use at patients appointments.

$100

Could help to provide one red wagon.

$250

Could help to provide 10 days of meals for one parent or family member.

$500

Could help to provide 42 platelet count tests. During chemotherapy, the platelet count of patients can drop to dangerously low levels so platelet transfusions are essential for treatment.

$606

Could help cover the cost of two days of oxygen for a St. Jude patient. During treatment, St. Jude patients may need oxygen to help their bodies function properly and aid in healing.

$1,722

Could help cover 1 day of chemotherapy administered intravenously to leukemia or solid tumor patients. Treatments invented at St. Jude have helped push the overall survival rate for childhood cancers from 20 percent when the hospital opened in 1962 to more than 80 percent today.
