It all started when Alfredo had unexplained bruises on his body and a constant fever.  His parents took him to a local doctor who called for bloodwork.

The results confirmed that Alfredo had leukemia.

He was referred to St. Jude, where doctors got to work right away to try and save his life.

“I was scared in the beginning because I didn’t know how it was going to be,” said Alfredo’s mom.

I felt relieved when I saw the way St. Jude treated my son.  Thanks to St. Jude, I didn’t cry anymore, and I felt stronger.

He is a shy boy with the most soulful eyes. When Alfredo was diagnosed with cancer, his parents were terrified by the thought of losing him, but they found hope at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.
