Help Kids At St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital

Just over a year ago, before the pandemic halted travel, I was given an opportunity to travel to Memphis, Tennessee to visit and learn about the St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital.

To say it was a life changing experience would be correct. It was a weekend of learning about the hospital, the staff, and all the amazing things that St. Jude does to help kids with cancer illnesses.

When you enter the lobby of the hospital, I can tell you it does not look anything like a typical hospital. It's designed that way. When a child and their parents who are already stressed beyond belief first enter, the last thing they want to see is a scary looking hospital. St. Jude's lobby and welcoming center is warm and inviting.

And that is just the beginning of the amazing care and compassion that you would experience at St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital. I came away from that weekend in awe of all that St. Jude does for kids with cancer, along with their parents.

The really awesome thing about St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital is, the family never receives a bill. Can I repeat that? The family never receives a bill. They even set up the family with accommodations while their child is at the hospital.
