This donation page has been set up in honor of our mom Catherine Hansen who passed away on April 6, 2018. Mom has been a life time supporter of St.Judes and had a special place in her heart for all children and especially those afflicted with cancer. Mom was diagnosed with lung cancer herself in 2015 and experienced first hand what it means to go through treatment and hope.
Your generous donation and loving thoughts are a light of hope to St. Jude children and their families. St. Jude is leading the way the world understands, treats and defeats childhood cancer and other life-threatening diseases.
It costs a lot for St. Jude to cure a child with cancer using the latest technologies and care. But because of donations, the price for patient families is $0. Families never receive a bill from St. Jude for anything.
Many families come to St. Jude thinking it's like any other hospital. They expect to pay high fees to get their child the best care. They're overwhelmed with gratitude when they learn St. Jude works to save their child's life for free using world-class care.
Your donations make this possible and give parents hope and will make mom smile down from heaven.
