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

    Strong Like AK takes requests from your care team, not from families. Copy this message, or say it at the next visit.

    Hi [social worker’s name],

Could you send a request to Strong Like AK for us? They offer help with car payments or transportation costs, electric, water, gas, or similar utilities, other essential needs reviewed case by case, and rent or mortgage, and it has to come from you. Their page is here: https://www.stronglikeak.org/childhood-cancer-patient-care

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