The Wilks Family has requested that in lieu of flowers, donations be made to the following five charities in Jennifer’s name:

(Click on the charity name to be directed to their website.)

St. Margaret Mary Catholic Church – (512) 259-3126
This is the Wilks’ home parish and they have supported Jennifer and her family throughout her illness.

His Grace Foundation – (281) 620-4511
This foundation supported the Wilks during their time in Houston. They paid for parking at Texas Children’s, provided dinner to the families in the hospital every other week, and each week would buy for Jennifer whatever she wanted up to $25.

American Cancer Society – (800) ACS-2345
Jennifer enjoyed attending Camp Discoveries, run by ACS, each summer that she could. The American Cancer Society also organizes information seminars helpful to patients and their caregivers.

Candlelighters / Any Baby Can – (512) 454-3743 or (800) 672-0238
Candlelighters provided counseling for the Wilks while in Austin and runs a camp for siblings that Elaine was able to attend for 3 years.

The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society - (512) 491-6610 or (866) 814-8113 (Toll Free) (When requested, please specify Central Texas Chapter.)
The LLS supported the Wilks financially and through information and education. Also the LLS funds research and clinical trials for the treatment of AML. Team in Training is an extra outlet for fundraising for LLS, which Mary and Tim were involved in and they both walk a half marathon to raise money for the cure. Jennifer was the honor patient for many of the cycling and running events in the past 2 years.

Please give what you can to help other children that are going through this and their families and to help find a cure so that no one has to endure what Jennifer went through.
