The Season of Giving is Here! See what Your Money Buys you at St. Jude!
This little boy, Claude, is a patient at St. Jude. He was featured on their social media channels to inspire donations. I posted it on my social media, too, because he's a soccer fan and a kid who is going through a fight no kid should face. If you're inspried to give today or any day this holiday season, just go here. It can help save a child's life!
