St. Jude Target House

During our trip to St. Jude, we had the opportunity to tour the St. Jude Target House. The St. Jude Target House are the long-term residence of families who are receiving treatment at St. Jude. The houses are 2 beautiful buildings that can accommodate 98 families. Not only does it provide the families with a beautiful furnished apartment with everything they need, but the buildings also have craft rooms, play rooms, music room, playground, yard, laundry, and other amenities like transportation.

This houses are sponsored by Target, which is why they are called St. Jude Target House. Target also furnished the apartments and even provided shopping carts so that families can have an easier time carrying their groceries from the car to the apartment. We not only toured the apartment building, we also had the chance to check out one of the apartments. This is the most beautiful apartment. They took care of everything detail. The apartment has 2 bedrooms, a living room, bathroom, kitchen with dinning area. They have televisions, gaming system and every pot and pan that they could possibly need. The apartment also has a safe for family valuables. Unlike a hotel, where room service comes and cleans everyday, the families that stay at the St. Jude Target House have full control of their environment in their apartments. The idea behind this is that they feel the most at home. In turn making the treatment a bit more tolerable for the whole family.

The tour of the property opened my eyes in so many ways. I already knew that St. Jude took care of their patients and families, but I had no idea that they were also providing these beautiful living conditions to families. They really went the extra mile, even with the help of celebrities! Some celebrities and athletes donated some of their pieces to the common rooms, and those common rooms are mirrored after their own rooms at home. Some of the rooms include Amy Grants Music Room and Tiger Woods Pavilion.

This is one of the reasons donating is so important. Not only does St. Jude just treat patients medically, they are also taking care of their way of life. They are providing something that no one else has provided a comfortable living environment where the families can feel at home. I should mention St. Jude also works with Ronald McDonald House and some of the families stay there, but it’s more short-term. Could you imagine the possibilities if the hospital has more capital!?
