Happy New Year!

May you have a very happy and healthy new year! We are very blessed this year as always to be healthy and very happy. This is the year I will get my non-profit off the ground. In case you don't know, it is called Community Cares. We help families where the primary caregiver is diagnosed with a major illness like cancer, or MS and we help out with laundry, house cleaning, meals, etc. Anything that will help families with small children deal with the day to day of maintaining a household while going through chemotherapy, or other debilitating health issue.

We work strictly on donations from the community. We depend on the generosity of local restaurants, laundries, and house cleaning businesses as well as donations from individuals and businesses.

When someone is diagnosed with cancer, you really don't know what to expect. When I went through chemo, I had lots of help from my family and friends. Unfortunately, there are people who are not as fortunate and may be away from family, or maybe don't want to be a bother, or even think they can do it on their own and don't want to ask for help. Whatever the situation, we are here to help. All our services are confidential and free of charge for our clients. Because our services are free of charge, we depend on donations to help out. I'll keep you posted on our progress. It seems like someone everyday is diagnosed with cancer and has children to raise. It's not easy, but that's where Community Cares help out!
