Hi.
My husband was just diagnosed with cancer. Are there any community resources I should be aware of, especially for my children?
We live in NY.
(I'm assuming Chai Lifeline is just for families of children with illnesses)

Wishing your husband a refua shleima, and wishing you strength and comfort.

Meals, after-school programs, shabbos/YT packages, individualized support based on family’s needs and much more.
