Donations
in Memory of Emma Thompson to St.
Jude's Children's
Research
Hospital On
June 27, 2009, Emma
Catherine Grace Thompson died
as a tragic victim of violent physical and sexual
abuse. To honor her life and pay tribute to the
preciousness of the lives of children everywhere, a
memorial fund has been established in Emma's
name at
St. Jude’s Children’s
Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee.
Begun
as a promise fulfilled by Danny Thomas over fifty
years ago, St. Jude's Hospital provides hope to
children who are desperately ill. No child is
turned away; no bills are ever sent.
If
you or someone you know would like to make a
donation in Emma’s memory, here is the
information.
