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.

Wagons can make traveling through the halls of St. Jude easier for parents and more fun for a young child. - Parties to celebrate birthdays, holidays and “coming off chemo”: $75
