Building a Network of Care from Diagnosis to Recovery

Help Comes in Many Forms

Having young kids in the home has its challenges. Now, imagine keeping up with the demands of parenting while also battling cancer. The emotional, physical, and financial burdens can be immense. Support from friends, family, and colleagues can alleviate these pressures, reduce the sense of being overwhelmed, and provide a sense of stability and hope.

Finding Strength in Community During Treatment

Families dealing with a cancer diagnosis often struggle to ask for help. If you're in this situation, know that your community is ready to support you. Whether cancer patients or their families need anything, people in our lives want to show up and do something. Without clear direction, their good intensions can quickly become overwhelming.

A central hub for updates and milestones is crucial. SupportNow makes it easy to communicate and coordinate, ensuring timely and appropriate help.

Needs Change With the Journey, Sometimes Unexpectedly

Supporting a family during a cancer journey requires adaptability, as needs can change rapidly. Tasks that are manageable one day can become overwhelming the next, especially for families with multiple responsibilities.

Here are some key milestones that may trigger a change in support needs:

• Diagnosis Period: Provide emotional support and help with logistical preparations. Assist with daily tasks and childcare. Ensure the family has nutritious meals.

• During Treatment: Offer transportation to and from treatment appointments. Help cover additional costs, like lodging and meals for family members if treatment is far from home. Reduce stress by taking care of errands and household chores.

• Post-Treatment Recovery: Assist with the transition back to daily life. Help manage medical appointments and therapy sessions. Provide ongoing emotional and practical support to aid the family's adjustment to their new normal.

Support Organizers Need Flexible Tools

Selecting a tool that can adapt to the family's evolving needs makes a big difference for those organizing support. Platforms like SupportNow offer a central place for the community to rally around a family, stay updated on their needs, and provide the care they deserve.
