Meet Saniya
"St. Jude gave us hope. They gave us faith to keep going and never give up."
Samantha, Saniya's mom
Cost to family: $0
Families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing or food — because all a family should worry about is helping their child live.
Our goal: 100% survival
Treatments invented at St. Jude have helped push the overall childhood cancer survival rate from 20% to more than 80% since it opened more than 50 years ago.
Every dollar matters
Approximately 75% of the funds necessary to operate St. Jude must be raised from generous donors.
