PTA Resource Fair: Programs & services for kids whose parent has or had cancer

The COLONTOWN PTA (Parents Talking Association) neighborhood hosted an online resource fair on May 18, 2023, focused on resources for kids who have a parent with or have lost a parent to cancer.

So many wonderful organizations support our kids in such a range of ways. From toddlers to teenagers. From diagnosis through grief. From experiences to scholarships. To in-person support to online resources. There seemed to be something for everyone!

Here is the recording as well as a great packet of resource material from these organizations and a listing that includes other organizations as well since our time was limited.
