Before you start, check you fit

  • Your child is 18 or under.
  • Only a treating-facility social worker may submit.

  1. One thing to do: ask your social workerThey send it. You give them what they need.

    Brody's Crew takes requests from your social worker, not from families. Copy this message, or say it at the next visit.

    Hi [social worker’s name],

Could you send a request to Brody's Crew for us? Gas, grocery, or food gift cards, wish-list items, and other help during our child's cancer treatment. It has to come from you. Their page is here: https://brodyscrew.com/s/Application-for-Assistance.pdf

Tell me what you need from me and I’ll bring it to our next visit. Thank you for everything you do for us.
