My Nonprofit Reviews

"Why do you have to go to the hospital again, Mommy?" "Am I going to get cancer like you?" These were some of the questions we were dealing with from our then 5 year old daughter. We answered honestly, careful not to hide information (they always know anyway), and careful not to say too much. I worried about her. I worried that she was worried about me. One of the things that most comforted me was the warm, loving arms of my mother, waiting unconditionally and at any time to comfort her. The other source of joy and centeredness came from OCMS. In a sense, each morning she bounced into school there, and was gently welcomed with smiles, she was walking into a hug. The sense of community at OCMS comes pretty close to a family. During my seemingly endless chemo treatments, I took much solace in the thought that she was happily occupied in such a warm and loving environment. Thanks, OCMS.
