Those who knew her knew that "Mema" was an amazing, funny, loving person who devoted her life to caring for her family. Her sense of humor and quick wit brought joy to all who knew her. She adored children of all ages, having 11 grandkids and 12 great-grandkids of her own. Because of this, St. Jude always held a special place in Norma's heart, a heart that wanted no child or parent to ever suffer or worry about affordable care.
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, the type of hope Norma instilled in us all.
