Help Kids With Cancer by Joining Faithfully Media’s Fundraiser for St. Jude

To show our gratitude for our readers’ continued support, we’ve launched a fundraiser with St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital via our parent company, Faithfully Media LLC.

Join us in doing a bit of good for children and their families by helping us smash our fundraising goal of at least $2,000.

The fundraising page is hosted on St. Jude’s website and all contributions go directly to the research hospital.

About St. Jude Children Research Hospital (via website): The mission of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital is to advance cures, and means of prevention, for pediatric catastrophic diseases through research and treatment. Consistent with the vision of our founder Danny Thomas, no child is denied treatment based on race, religion or a family’s ability to pay.

Here are some ways in which your donations could help kids and families:

  These supplies help parents and nurses care for babies in treatment and include items like diapers, baby bottles, sippy cups, pacifiers, footies and heel warmers.

  Wagons can make traveling through the halls of St. Jude easier for parents and more fun for a young child.

  St. Jude provides parties, decorations, cakes and more to keep spirits high during the holidays and to celebrate special occasions like birthdays and a child’s completion of chemotherapy treatment.
• Creative Toys: $100
  Play is an essential part of every child’s life, and it’s important for the children to have fun as often as possible. At St. Jude, colorful, toy-filled play areas are just as plentiful as exam rooms.
