We quickly realized that we’re going to need a village to help us fight this cancer. Thank you for being part of our village and helping out as you wish and where you can! The following are ways that you can help. When applicable, each bullet point is linked to more details below. (Some of this is still a bit under construction…)
- Your thoughts, prayers, and support – please feel free to leave comments on posts. Please know that we’ll read them all – we likely won’t have the energy to respond often and thank you for your understanding there!
- Meals & food – if you like, we would be grateful for your support with meals and food, for more information, including our Meal Train, please click here (You might recall that Kat is a super picky eater…and as much as we love pasta…and it’s the website name and all, we likely can’t eat pasta all the time. Protein and veggies are key. We happen to particularly love roasted veggies that we could cook in the oven. Please check back often, as we learn more about what Kat should be eating and what she feels like we’ll provide more info.)
- We may need help running errands or picking up orders around town…if you might be willing to please add to your Trader Joe’s run or Costco run please let us know…we’re happy to Venmo or Zelle for our items! 🙂
- Kat is going to be in a chemo chair with ice packs on her hands and toes working to prevent neuropathy…so…entertainment will be needed to keep my mind off the cold (many of you know how much I hate being cold and regularly see me indoors in an outdoor coat…); if you have great TV shows and movies you like that you’d recommend I watch…or audio books please leave them here – and tell me/us why you recommend it. (We’ll do a post on the journal page where you can comment on this topic…please standby for a link. :))
- Listening when we need it…
- Our needs for help are likely to evolve throughout this journey, please check back often as we may post more ways to help here
- Likely more ideas to come!
