Whether you know someone who has a child recently diagnosed with cancer or are looking for a way to corral resources or direct help, here are a couple of great resources.

What can I do?

House cleaning

Children with cancer are extremely vulnerable to illness and need a clean and germ free environment. Overwhelmed caregivers rarely have the time or energy to spend much time deep cleaning. Regular assistance or a donation of house cleaning services are always much appreciated
