Imagine you're a parent of a child, only nine years of age. Something happens, your child stops breathing. Endless hours at the hospital, doctors and nurses pouring over several other patients before getting to your child, finally they don't know what's wrong. They send you elsewhere, and you find out your child has acute lymphocytic leukemia.
Inside of a month, your child's condition became much worse; the condition was so grave the doctors at your local hospital ran out of luck. With no options, you are willing to do anything for your child to live, than at home, one night stressing over bills from the hospital and your insurance no longer will pay for your child, your phone rings. St. Jude Children's Research Hospital is willing to take your child under their care.
You jump at this chance; within twelve hours St. Jude's paid for your transportation and your child's. The first thing they do is give your child a full check up, than settle you in at their housing facilities. Inside of a few months, your child is ready to go home. The ALL (acute lymphocytic leukemia) was taken care of.
In the United States a lot of commercials on television are given up to support St. Jude and often feature a tear-jerking story of a child with a critical illness. Doctors and researchers around the world work with the staff at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital with the toughest cases. St. Jude Children's Research Hospital is truly a unique addition to this world. St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital goes the extra mile to ensure your child is safe and does not pass in dawn’s light.
Danny Thomas founded St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in 1962 on the thought ‘no child should die in the dawn of life’. To this day, St. Jude keeps the promise with patients from over 80 countries world wide and possibly every community. About 84¢ of every dollar given is straight for research; the rest is to pay for administration costs. This is a remarkable rank of how much actually goes to helping to find a cure.
