We support St. Jude because of our daughter Mavis. When she was 13 months old she was diagnosed with Metastatic Yolk Sac Carcinoma in our home town Baton Rouge, LA. She was rushed to St. Jude where they saved her life. Without them, we do not know where she would be today. We can never say enough good things about St. Jude. They allow families like us to CARE for their children without the burden of paying. They not only never give families a bill but they provide housing, food, education, and so much more for our children to allow them the best possibilities to get better. We need your help to keep the mission of St. Jude going, any and all donations allows St. Jude to offer the best resources for children like Mavis.
When St. Jude opened in 1962, childhood cancer was largely considered incurable. Since then, St. Jude has helped push the overall survival rate from 20% to more than 80%, and we won't stop until no child dies from cancer. Thank you for supporting me and the lifesaving work happening at St. Jude today.
Let’s cure childhood cancer. Together.
