Monthly Giving to St. Jude Children's Research Hopsital
St. Jude is leading the way the world understands, treats and defeats childhood cancer and other life-threatening diseases.
Unlike other hospitals, the majority of St.Jude's funding comes from donors. This support allows families to never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing or food.
For the last 3 years, Jeff and Julie Leonard have generously given monthly to St. Jude to help with their hospital's mission to cure childhood cancer, and support families that are going through a challenging time.
