Project Title: The Butterfly Program: Giving Help and Hope to Local Children Fighting Cancer
\nProject Description:<\/p>\n
"Your child has cancer." Are there worse words a parent can hear? Yes, there are. "I’m sorry, there are no more treatments to cure your child or prolong their life." The Pediatric Oncology Support Team, Inc. (POST) is a palliative care team there for families throughout treatment and at the end of life. We need help to give families emotional and financial support so they can focus on what is truly important – easing suffering and making memories.
\nSince our referrals have increased significantly \u2013 40% during the past 2 years\u2013 we are helping more children than ever. The majority of these children survive their battle with cancer, but 20% will not. Excellence in palliative care has been particularly hard to maintain during this growth period. Funding for services at POST has not kept pace with client growth. Our proposal is to increase the depth and breadth of services we give to these brave children and their families. <\/p>\n
We cannot change devastating medical outcomes but POST therapists and programs can help ease their burden and support the family through the darkest of times. Emotional support comes from therapists who help the family make difficult decisions, sit with them through tough conversations with physicians, and are bedside at every stage \u2013 including at the end of life.<\/p>\n
Families are emotionally devastated after months or years battling cancer and need \u201cfamily time\u201d to build lasting memories so we propose to provide them with respite outings to restaurants, theme parks, etc. POST proposes to advocate with the schools on the child\u2019s behalf to create the most meaningful experience possible. We propose to help financially depleted families financially with housing, transportation, food and funerals. We will also provide education to hospice physicians and to hold an annual memorial service and bereavement support for surviving family members.\n<\/p>\n
