St. Jude Patient of the Month: Alfredo

Our St. Jude Patient of the Month is Alfredo.

Alfredo's Story

Alfredo is a shy, quiet little boy with the most soulful eyes. When Alfredo was diagnosed with cancer, his parents were terrified by the thought of losing him, but they found hope at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital ®.  

It all started when Alfredo had unexplained bruises on his body and a constant fever. His parents took him to a local doctor who called for bloodwork and the results confirmed the news, Alfredo had leukemia.  

Alfredo was referred to St. Jude, where doctors got to work right away to try and save his life. And thanks to generous donors, families like Alfredo’s never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing or food – so they can focus on helping their child live.  

“I was sacred in the beginning because I didn’t know how it was going to be,” said Alfredo’s mom. “I felt relieved when I saw the way St. Jude treated my son. Thanks to St. Jude, I didn’t cry anymore, and I felt stronger.”
