aTeam Ministries makes a great difference for families of childhood cancer patients in Alabama. As patients come to Birmingham to get treated, their families have real needs for emotional and financial support. I have seen many families that aTeam has been able to help, by giving them a place to stay in the apartment, by providing meals for families in the hospital, and by praying continuously for patients. aTeam also has been able to provide financial assistance to families with great needs, offer them opportunities to attend football games and participate in fun activities take a break from their cancer worries, and has been very active in childhood cancer awareness. Pediatric cancer is a devastating reality and aTeam is doing a world of good to help families affected by it.
Review from Guidestar
In October of 2009, my baby siter (8 yrs old) was diagnosed with Acute Lymphocetic Leukemia. Having lost our mom to a 5 year battle of cancer in November of 2008, we had walked the oncology road before. But never had we walked the pedatric road. The biggest challenge for our family was the distance. We live 3 1/2 hours from the hospital where our patient recieves her once a week treatments. When you are so far from home, simple things like taking a shower become complicated issues. aTeam ministries provided us with a place to stay on serveral occasions. They have prepared many hot meals for our family, and most of all they have showered us with emotional & spiritual support. aTeam Ministries goes beyond the call of compassion! They are the whole package in one! They have made our pedeatric oncology road much smoother. I would describe the aTeam Ministry as "AWESOME, AWESOME, AWESOME!
ATeam Ministries is a vital organization in the world of pediatric oncology. As a young cancer survivor myself, I understand first hand that community is vital to thriving during a season of life, such as cancer. ATeam Ministries is an organization committed to carrying the load of children and families battling cancer. One person/family at a time.
