Sample Book Insights:
#1 The diagnosis was leukemia, and the treatment was two and a half years of inpatient chemotherapy followed by nine months of outpatient chemo. My wife would probably feel awful during and after the treatment, but I was determined not to blow it.
#2 Mia’s friend Meg came by almost every week, bringing lunch and crafts for the two of them. Mia was craving processed cheese products as a side effect of her chemo, and her parents came to help her out with that.
#3 The response to our family’s situation was overwhelming. We received so much support that I was hesitant to mention any of it here, because I would have to leave out far more than I could include.
#4 The people in our lives took an no-stone-unturned approach to our situation, anticipating every possible need of body and soul. We were able to get through the ordeal because of it.

#1

The diagnosis was leukemia, and the treatment was two and a half years of inpatient chemotherapy followed by nine months of outpatient chemo. My wife would probably feel awful during and after the treatment, but I was determined not to blow it.

#2

Mia’s friend Meg came by almost every week, bringing lunch and crafts for the two of them. Mia was craving processed cheese products as a side effect of her chemo, and her parents came to help her out with that.

#3

The response to our family’s situation was overwhelming. We received so much support that I was hesitant to mention any of it here, because I would have to leave out far more than I could include.

#4

The people in our lives took an no-stone-unturned approach to our situation, anticipating every possible need of body and soul. We were able to get through the ordeal because of it.

#5

There is strength in numbers. When Stephanie Welter’s community came together to support her son, Joe, who has autism, they were able to raise the $15,000 required for service dog training.

#6

The family received hundreds of donations, and raised $15,000 for Joe’s treatment. The Welters now also care for Hercules, a 4 Paws breeding dog, and volunteer as a therapy team at the local ER, a cancer center, and elsewhere.

#7

When Larry Stewart saw how mistreated the waitresses were, he decided to help them out by giving them money. He started driving around looking for people who needed help, and he gave away $200 in fives and tens.

#8

Secret Santa is a modern Christmas tradition that allows people to anonymously give money to others. It was started by Larry Shue, who gave away more than $1. 4 million over the course of 20 years, all while anonymously giving away his identity.

#9

A single act of kindness can spark a movement, so don’t be afraid to help others. You never know what might happen as a result.

#10

We can’t always fix everything ourselves, and knowing that someone cares is often all we need to find the strength to keep going.

#11

When we let people know that we see them and are thinking about them, it is appreciated. When we are compassionate and understanding, it is powerful.

#12

When it comes to giving, you can ask questions like, What can I do for you. or say, Let me know if you need anything. But when it comes to giving, you should also make a specific offer.

#13

The support of friends and family is extremely important during a diagnosis and treatment. The stress and challenges of life continue after a diagnosis, so it is greatly appreciated when friends and family continue to check in with you.

#14

You can be a source of support for others even if you don’t know them. When hostility toward Muslims was growing in America in 2017, youth director Adeel Ahmad found that someone had tied a large paper heart to the plants outside the door of Nusrat Mosque in Coon Rapids, Minnesota.
