On Sakhisizwe we had Deirdré
Taylor from the organisation My Child Has Cancer Trust, a support group for
families with children who are struggling with cancer.
Deirdré told us about the importance of creating a network of mutual
support and solidarity amongst families who have experienced or are experienced
similar circumstances in order to help them cope better with the difficult
reality they are facing.
For instance, the organisation provides support through informative
sessions, offering help with everyday life business – such as groceries,
picking up the other siblings from school – advice and emotional support.
