How to help a friend's family
When a friend's child is diagnosed with cancer, it is hard to know what to say or do. Small, specific kindnesses go a long way.
where to start
Simple ways to show up
Offer something specific

Keep showing up
Treatment is long. A card or text a few weeks in often means more than the flurry at the start.
