At the age of 4 ½, Jade was diagnosed with Stage 4 Unfavorable Wilms Tumor. Prior to the diagnosis, Jade was a perfectly healthy, joyful and thriving little girl. Jade’s right kidney was completely taken over by the tumor. She had a large clot in her Vena Cava that made its way within inches of her heart. In addition, she also had several spots on her lungs. Jade endured 30 cycles of chemotherapy, a 10.5 hour long resection surgery/repair followed by a 3-night stay in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) and 8 radiation treatments. After all that, she was declared Cancer Free on June 3, 2021, and officially rang the bell! Jade is now 7 years old and she is in 2nd grade. She is thriving in school and making up for lost time with her friends. She is a social butterfly and loves to be the center of attention!

Each year our Credit Union for Kids (CU4K) program continues to find ways to increase their fundraising efforts with ease. In 2022, CU4K was our 3rd largest fundraising partner for CMNH at Sacred Heart Children’s Hospital. CU4Kids officially began in 1996, however credit unions were raising funds for local children’s hospitals starting in the mid-80s. What makes this partner so unique is their ability to work together for the greater good without expecting individual credit union recognition. In addition to the funds donated by our credit unions, they have also committed countless volunteer hours serving on our campus. And it doesn’t end there, they find ways to weave stories of our patients, their volunteer experiences and their financial support into their social media channels connecting the members to our cause.

Thank you to all our Inland Northwest Credit Unions for being such an amazing partner of Sacred Heart Children’s Hospital!
