Anyone who knew my Grandpa Sheldon knew that he cared deeply about his family and close friends. He lived everyday to the fullest; still exercising, meeting up with friends, and treating his family to outings with laughter and good food well into his late 80s. His wit, charm, and humor bled into every aspect of his life, and everyone he encountered was never left without a smile. He was an extremely genuine, generous, and caring person. He supported his family's every endeavor and was present for every milestone. He served as a role model to so many, spreading kindness and always prioritizing the important people in his life. My grandpa passionately supported St. Jude, and in honor of him, we have created this fund.
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.
