Reasons Behind My St. Jude Fundraising Drive
Following my kidney transplant in February 2020, my wife and I have experienced firsthand the financial strain that follows a major medical procedure. The relentless stream of medical bills that arrive for days, weeks, and months post-surgery can be overwhelming. Our journey has inspired us to reach out and alleviate this burden for other families. If we can enable even one family to fully focus on their child's recovery and return home without the weight of financial worries, every effort will be worth it.
Thanks to compassionate donors like you and me, St. Jude ensures that no family is burdened with bills for treatment, travel, housing, or food. Our mission is clear: Families should be able to direct all their energy towards helping their children live.
During these challenging times, I understand if you're hesitating to make a donation. But remember a simple gesture like Sharing on social media, telling your neighbor about us, or emailing the link to an old friend or family member can make a meaningful impact at zero cost. Let's work together to spread the word!"
