Looking for "deals" for my child with cancer
HI, I am a long-time member. We recently learned that my 15 year old son has osteosarcoma, he has a cancerous tumor on his right shin just below the knee. He started chemo last week. 9 months of treatment ahead of us and my wife had to take a leave of absence from work to take care of him.
Curious if any of you have experience or ideas on how companies or other organizations may be able to help. For example, we could use help with a laptop since the hospital has wireless connectivity and Josh is pretty bored. Or other resources to help a family? Thanks for any advice or leads. Jason

Wow Jason, I'm so sorry to hear about Josh. I hope he comes through this all ok. I don't really know of any organizations but if I hear of anything I'll be sure to let you know.

Contact your local Lion's Club, Moose Club, Masons Lodge, etc. You may even want to contact his high school ... b/c he won't be able to attend classes, they may be able to provide a laptop or meet other "educational" needs.
You might be surprised by what you could get through local channels. Good luck! And I said a prayer for your son and your family! -Beth
