Why this campaign matters
This campaign was created to provide urgent, sustained support for children affected by pediatric AIDS and other life‑threatening infectious diseases. Despite enormous advances in treatment, countless children around the world — and right here at home — still face barriers to timely diagnosis, consistent access to antiretroviral therapies, and the specialized supportive care that improves survival and quality of life.
Jennifer Aniston is partnering with St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital to raise $1,300,000 to expand pediatric AIDS treatment access, fund cutting‑edge research into better therapies and long‑term outcomes, and ensure families never face financial barriers when seeking lifesaving care. St. Jude’s model of care means families never pay for treatment, travel, housing or food — your donation goes directly to research, medicine, and the comprehensive care that lets kids focus on being kids.
How donations will be used:
- Expand access to pediatric antiretroviral therapy programs and adherence support.
- Fund clinical research and trials to improve treatment regimens and reduce long‑term complications.
- Support multidisciplinary care (nutrition, mental health, social services) for children and families.
- Cover patient support costs so families don’t pay for care, travel, lodging, or meals.
