Hope Binders Help Parents in the Battle Against Life-Threatening Diseases in ChildrenBeing a parent of a sick child is emotionally and physically draining. Between school, doctor's appointments and treatments, you are thrown into a world where there is very little control and every decision can be critical to your child's wellbeing.
A new innovative tool from the Childhood Leukemia Foundation called the "Hope Binder" helps parents manage the overwhelming amount of information related to their child's care. It includes worksheets and resources to help document treatment protocols, medicines, doctor's appointments, blood counts, physicians, hospitals, nutrition concerns, and insurance benefits - all the details that come with facing cancer. It even includes free telephone calling cards to reach doctors and other family members.
A copy of popular video game Re-Mission is included in the binder. It is designed to give young cancer patients a sense of power and control over their disease.
