Angels Among Us Offers Emotional Support Program for Pediatric Cancer Families
Angels Among Us (www.myangelsamongus.org) announces new emotional support programming for families whose child is battling pediatric cancer. This new programming will consist of monthly opportunities for kids and teens battling pediatric cancer and their siblings to get together, as well as opportunities for their primary care givers to gather for some respite time.
“As a mom who has had a child battle pediatric cancer, I am most excited about having more opportunities for these families to connect outside of the hospital setting and provide each other with the support that we all so desperately need during the cancer battle, which can be such an isolating time,” says Brittany Friesen, director of family programs for Angels Among Us.
This new programming will also include multiple opportunities for family outings as well as a bereavement group that meets regularly and is specifically focused on families who have lost a child to cancer.
Angels Among Us is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization whose mission is to provide financial and emotional support to pediatric cancer families living in or being treated in Nebraska.
