Families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing, or food, so they can focus on helping their child live, regardless of the duration or the cost of care.
Together we can build a brighter future.
In the U.S., 4 out of 5 children survive cancer, but in many countries only 1 out of 5 children diagnosed will survive.
Every child deserves to live their best life. You can help St. Jude give kids with cancer that chance. We won't stop until no child — anywhere — dies from cancer.
By 2030, our goal is to cure at least 60% of children with six of the most common kinds of cancer worldwide.
With your support, St. Jude can provide cutting-edge treatment at no cost to families.
