Review for Circle of Care for Families of Children with Cancer, Wilton, CT, USA
I first learned of Circle of Care for Families of Children with Cancer when asked to volunteer on a fundraiser about 4 years ago. I have been volunteering ever since because I know my efforts can make a big difference!
What is immediately appealing about Circle of Care's services is the thoughtful and immediate help they provide to families; their care begins from the day of diagnosis and endures throughout the end of treatment, comforting patients as well as their families.
Circle of Care fulfills the emotional as well as the practical needs. Everyday essentials fill the Bags of Love and accompany patients on admittance; laptop computers are available for patient and parent use to ease communication and research, a resource directory and respite support from well-trained, loving volunteers, as well as financial aid are among our programs. The difference Circle of Care makes is palpable.
Circle of Care is a community of love and support to families who need it most and deserves top-rating status!
