How your donation makes an impact
When St. Jude opened in 1962, childhood cancer was considered incurable. Since then, St. Jude has helped push the overall survival rate from 20% to more than 80%, and we won’t stop until no child dies from cancer.
Families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing or food—so they can focus on helping their child live.
Every child deserves a chance to live their best life and celebrate every moment. When you support St. Jude, you help give kids with cancer around the world that chance. Together, we can save more lives.
Mateo
It was the summer of 2024 — just a couple of weeks before Mateo was to celebrate his first birthday — when a mass was discovered near his pelvis, which was later diagnosed as rhabdomyosarcoma, a type of cancerous tumor that arises in soft tissue. Mateo was referred to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital®, and he fit the criteria for a clinical trial evaluating a new treatment for rhabdomyosarcoma. “The second we got to St. Jude, everyone greeted us at the front door, and from that moment I knew he was going to be OK,” said his mom, Nancy. “I had a feeling of hope at that moment. They instantly started to control his pain, and they focused on Mateo.”
