Thank you Monthly Cuppas for St Jude

Our monthly “Community Cuppa” was a wonderful time for connection, conversation and support. Thank you Cynthia, Diana, Susanna, Emily Jane, Kay, Peggy, JoAnn, Kellie, Ann, Kathy and Real Estate Team Michelle Caruthers, Laura Abokhair, Shawn Millhausen and Windy Kerr from Premier Home & Land Group

This was a bitter sweet gathering:

  • celebrating good news: Chris (regular attendee) will be coming home to Montgomery with her new kidney on Friday

  • welcoming Michelle and her team to Soma and our monthly cuppa

  • saying fair well to Emily Jane (who has attended monthly cuppa almost every month for several years) who is returning to her roots in South Carolina.

This event is a fundraiser for our ““Soma Charity Partner”. All donations collected go towards St. Jude. We raised $35 and even (4.50 Euro!) our 2024 fundraiser and we are 11% there with a total of $592!

Please continue your prayers for Chris (most front, center) she is returning from Mayo Clinic with a new kidney this weekend. We look forward to hopefully posting our next cuppa with her upfront and center (wrapped by us) in the June Cuppa photo….

Our next “Monthly Cuppa” is Monday, June 3rd.

Every dollar donated to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital counts! Take a look at some of the possibilities that your effort could provide to the kids and families of St. Jude.

  • Infant Care Supplies for 10 Babies: $50
    These supplies help parents and nurses care for babies in treatment and include items like diapers, baby bottles, sippy cups, pacifiers, footies and heel warmers.

  • Wagon: $70
    Wagons can make traveling through the halls of St. Jude easier for parents and more fun for a young child.

  • Parties to celebrate birthdays, holidays and "coming off chemo": $75
    St. Jude provides parties, decorations, cakes and more to keep spirits high during the holidays and to celebrate special occasions like birthdays and a child's completion of chemotherapy treatment.

  • Creative Toys: $100
    Play is an essential part of every child's life, and it's important for the children to have fun as often as possible. At St. Jude, colorful, toy-filled play areas are just as plentiful as exam rooms.

  • Delicious Meals: $210
    St. Jude provides meal cards so that patients and families can enjoy the comfort and convenience of good, nutritious meals in the Kay Kafe, our cafeteria.

  • One Day of Oxygen: $447
    Oxygen is key to keeping the immune system strong. A gift of oxygen can help a young body thrive and help fight cancer at the cellular level.

  • Child-sized Wheelchairs: $700
    These special wheelchairs help children move easily through St. Jude.

  • Airfare for a parent and child: $1,000 Average
    For a patient referred to St. Jude, the hospital covers the cost of airfare for a child and one parent or guardian.
