How Can I Help a Cancer Patient and Their Family?
Some cancer patients struggle financially due to high medical costs and depleted medical aids. Giving cash is not always advisable as some people might take offence. Offering (in a group) to cover telephone-or electricity bills is one way. How about offering essentials like toiletries for the year ahead? Filling his/her petrol tank, taking the car to the carwash monthly or offering lifts for children – any of these things will lift a tremendous burden. If you decide to purchase food – bear in mind that nutritional health is essential.
But one ‘need’ that stands out far above the rest, is friendship. Sending an e-mail, picking up the phone, going for lunch/movies/theatre – even just a visit and a back-rub, or news of your day – these are the things your loved-one truly aspire to. Just sitting together, each reading his/her own book, is precious. One needn’t discuss the ‘gloom and doom’ of the cancer condition all the time.
Remember, except for cancer, there are many other things happening in your loved-ones life. As friends to one another, we lift up, support and share.
