2009: St.Jude Children's Research Hospital by 5bdrew in St. Jude Children's Research Hospital
St. Jude and all that work there are idols to everyone around Memphis because they set a great example of compassion for what they do and how they serve. St. Jude tries to find cures to different deadly diseases everyday like Lukimia and Cancer. For all the families that take a child to St. Jude get a place to stay without having to pay and the Ronald McDonald House helps them. Recently I went to a talent show and all the money that was earned there went to sponsering a child in a foreign country with a terrible disease. I am very proud to have a great children's hospital like St.Jude apart of Memphis. There are hundreds of foundations that donate money to St.Jude. Mr.Billett in the fourth grade collects pull tabs off of soda cans and donates them to St.Jude which is a great way of helping. No family is ever turned away if they do not have the ability to pay. I hope St.Jude will stay in Memphis forever.
