St. Jude Children's Research Hospital

Happy Holidays from the kids at St. Jude!

Meet Sam: Sam and her brother were both patients at St. Jude and are now cancer-free. Sam wants to give back as much as possible, because without St. Jude, her family would look a lot different. She loves returning to campus to see how much it is growing. The mural of seasons at the entrance has always been her favorite, along with the gift shop. Even on her worst day, Sam still found so much joy in spending time at the hospital, like the day the band Ricochet showed up at her bedside to sing to her, it is those memories that she will carry forever. I give thanks formy brother and I being cancer-free! #GiveThanks

Having to spend the holidays in the hospital is never easy for anyone, but there are ways to make it better. Felicity's mom shares how they created holiday cheer with gifts and decorations last year at St. Jude. https://www.stjude.org//spending-the-holidays-in-the-hospi

Za’Mya was diagnosed with #sicklecell disease shortly after birth when doctors did a newborn screening, and she was referred to St. Jude. I don’t want sickle cell to be what weighs Za’Mya down, her mom Nytasha said. She has to be a little more cautious, but I want her to do everything and more despite sickle cell. Thanks to the treatment Za’Mya is receiving at St. Jude, she is a thriving little girl. #StJudePatient

Todos los años para esta fecha, nuestras radioemisoras latinas y sus talentos visitan a St. Jude para conocer a sus pacientes, los proyectos nuevos y recopilar experiencias, para luego realizar sus respectivos radiotones. Hoy, por primera vez celebraremos este seminario virtualmente, y aunque será una experiencia diferente, el compromiso de continuar educando y ayudar a los niños de St. Jude sigue muy latente. Gracias a nuestras radioemisoras aliadas por decir presente aún en la distancia. ¡Su dedicación nos llena de inspiración y alegría! #porStJude #SeminarioPromesayEsperanza

When Brinley's leukemia returned, her family was referred to #StJude where Brinley received chemotherapy and a haploidentic transplant. Your generosity gives little girls like her the chance to grow. Read her story: https://bit.ly/33KuQ6A. #stjudepatients

Mariangeles was given a second chance at life at age 12, when after being diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in her home country, Venezuela, she was given only one week to live. Fortunately, she met a doctor who had ties to St. Jude and immediately referred her there for treatment. Today, she is involved in 18 fundraising programs, which includes organizing dinners, galas, radiothons, golf tournaments, and more. For Mariangeles, working at ALSAC goes far beyond a salary, a degree or a schedule. For her, it's about helping the hospital continue to save lives. "I do dream, like Danny Thomas dreamed, that one day the hospital will close because there is no more cancer," said Mariangeles. #StJudepatients
