They took care of my baby,&#8221; says a mother named Melissa. &#8220;Phenomenal. It&#8230; it really pulled on my heart. I couldn&#8217;t even imagine what to expect, and knowing that, I was like, &#8216;Are you serious? Is this real?&#8217; They have a lifetime of gratitude from me and my family because of that,&#8221; she adds.<\/p>\n<p> More on St Jude Dream Home Giveaway  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/a5k3u7bkvbxomnd6.jpg\" alt=\"What is the St. Jude Dream Home Giveaway?\" class=\"sr-only\" data-v-892ef6a8=\"\"\/>    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/a5k3u7bkvbxomnd6.jpg\" alt=\"What is the St. Jude Dream Home Giveaway?\" loading=\"eager\" fetchpriority=\"high\" class=\"vod-poster-image vod-poster-image--embedded\" data-v-a3924c54=\"\"\/>   <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fox26houston.com\/video\/fmc-mevwpugjmxpgn8bb\" data-v-892ef6a8=\"\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">What is the St. Jude Dream Home Giveaway?<\/a> <\/p>\n<p data-v-892ef6a8=\"\">You have a chance to win your dream home while supporting a great cause!
