Special thanks to our amazing partners who helped make Mother’s Day so meaningful for our survivors! 💐

We were honored to provide beautiful Mother’s Day gift bags to our survivors, generously donated by the Glory Circle of First United Methodist Church in Crown Point. These wonderful bags were dropped off by Carol Highsmith and Becky Sills.

We also appreciate the support from the Hometown Happenings Mother’s Day Run, which benefited St. Jude House. Because of this amazing event, hundreds of individuals came together to support our mission, including over 900 runners and walkers, many participating for the first time and choosing to spend part of their Mother’s Day giving back.

Your support helps us continue providing critical services and care to the individuals and families we serve, we are truly grateful!
