Imagine a child's laughter silenced by the harsh reality of cancer. Picture their innocence overshadowed by the daunting fight for survival. This is the stark reality faced by thousands of children and families every day.
Childhood cancer is a reality that thousands of children and families face every day. But, there is hope which lies within every one of us.
As someone who grew up in a country often labeled as “3rd world”, I have witnessed the dark side of childhood that starts with poverty, malnutrition, and untreated medical conditions only to end with shattered dreams. I cannot take away poverty or the suffering of every child but I am confident that through our collective action, I can still transform lives and instill hope where there was once despair.
That's why I joined the St. Jude Leadership Society with the belief that we can provide hope, healing, and a promising future for children battling cancer. With every dollar raised, we can offer a chance at a future free from pain and suffering through groundbreaking research and innovative treatments. Let's work together to make a difference in the lives of these children and their families!
Therefore, I ask you to dig deep, open your hearts, and stand with us in this critical mission. Together, we can make a difference. Together, we can save lives.
How your donation helps:
Families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing, or food - because all a family should worry about is helping their child live.
Treatments invented at St. Jude have helped push the overall childhood cancer survival rate from 20% to more than 80% since it opened more than 50 years ago. We won't stop until no child dies from cancer.
St. Jude Children's Research Hospital is leading the way the world understands, treats, and defeats childhood cancer and other life-threatening diseases. St. Jude freely shares its groundbreaking discoveries, and every child saved at St. Jude means doctors and scientists can use that knowledge to save thousands more children worldwide.
Thank you for your interest and support in this cause!
With gratitude,
