Morsels of Might: How a Caring Community Helped Patricia Find a Bright Spot in 10+ Hour Chemo Days
Have you ever put off a doctor’s appointment because it was the last thing you wanted to do?
When you have to plan your day around an appointment, maybe take time off work, travel, sit in a waiting room… it can feel like a real hassle. But when you’re fighting cancer, postponing treatment isn’t an option.
For cancer patients like Patricia, these treatment days are long, exhausting, and unavoidable.
Each chemo day, Patricia and her family had to leave their house before sunrise and didn’t return until long after dark.
“The chemo day is incredibly lengthy for us. We board the 6:30 AM train, then transfer to a cab, then infusions and doctors all day, and we won’t get back until 5 PM.” ~ Patricia
Getting through the day is already an obstacle course filled with anxieties and unknowns. Now imagine trying to prepare fresh, nutritious meals for yourself and your family to bring along on top of everything else. Most days, it simply gets overlooked.
But thanks to generous people like you, Patricia didn’t have to worry about one more thing on her long treatment days.
Instead, your kindness helped bring delicious meals directly to Patricia and her loved ones during treatment. It wasn’t just food; it was a moment of comfort in the middle of an overwhelming day.
“Having a meal provided for my family and me is immensely helpful—it not only makes our day less costly but also gives us one less thing to worry about!” ~ Patricia
This meal wasn’t only a source of nourishment for Patricia and her family—it was a reminder that they’re not alone in this fight. Thanks to you, Patricia didn’t have to spend her precious energy worrying about where their next meal would come from or planning yet another detail in her already full day.
Your kindness made all the difference.
Your generosity made Patricia’s treatment days a bit less overwhelming, turning that constant question—what will we eat today?—into one less thing to worry about. Patricia and her family could take a deep breath and focus on what truly mattered: getting through the day together.
Patricia and her family will forever remember the warmth of your kindness!
