It has been a year since I became a partner in hope, and I think it is one of the best decisions I have ever made. These days everyone knows someone that is affected by cancer. This year especially I felt like cancer was attacking everyone around me. Everyone knows how cancer can not only be a problem medically but also financially.
The thing that I LOVE about St. Jude's is that parents don't have to pay for a dime while their child is there. St. Jude's even pays for travel expenses to get to St. Jude's and back home. This lets the parents be able to focus more on taking care of their child and less on how in the world are they going to pay for all of the medical bills. This was really the selling point for me on St. Jude's. That is why partners in hope are so important because they are the ones who are paying for the chemo and the doctor bills, not the parents.
When I was pregnant with Mason at 17 years old I was at a place where I didn't know how I would end up financially. I was still in school and working two part time jobs. There were so many giving and supportive people that gave me gifts, diapers, and hand me down clothes. I was so grateful that I always said one day I would somehow find a way to give back.
A year ago I was finally at that place where I was financially stable enough to start giving back. I had graduated college and was working a full time job. I had been looking into different charities and debating what direction I wanted to go. Around that time it was national cancer day and the radio station Froggy 98 out of Lincoln was doing their annual radiothon for Partner's in Hope. They sold me and I knew that was the perfect organization to give back to. I signed up that same day. I have to thank Froggy 98 for informing me about becoming a Partner in Hope.
