Better Together

Always part of our family

There is a science behind what we do at Casey Cares. Not once-a-lifetime or once-a-year, we know that the best palliative care comes from continuous, ongoing support throughout a family’s entire journey. Our bimonthly customized programs give families dozens of opportunities to create positive family memories while enrolled in our programs. The focus of pediatric palliative care is to enhance the quality of life for all involved, in large part by preventing and alleviating suffering.  Emotional well-being is an integral part of a patient’s ability to be physically healthy. Beginning as early as birth, we focus on the entire family, not simply the sick child.

Unique to Casey Cares, Better Together encourages families who have suffered such a difficult loss to continue their participation with any of Casey Cares programs for an additional year. During this difficult time, we hope to help families regain strength, raise their spirits, and focus on healing. Continuation of care and support at this critical time for a family is extremely important for rebuilding the unit.

Casey Cares also hosts its monthly Better Together Bereavement Circle group. This is an online child loss support group for Casey Cares families and is a safe space to share with others who have similar experiences. The group is led by a social worker who has extensive experience working with child loss families. Are you a Casey Cares family who would like to join this group?

Testimonials

While we enjoyed our time together as a family, we remembered our beloved Marilla, who would have enjoyed all to the fullest. We miss her every day. She was such a rare, beautiful, joyful, courageous 15-year-old. Our hearts ache that the brain tumor took her from us. She died May 25th just a month after her birthday. Your generous gift to us in our loss has encouraged us. The most important thing for Marilla and us all is our family and doing things together.

The Kleinsasser Family

We have appreciated everything that Casey Cares has done to support our family this past year. Because of all of you and amazing donors, Madison was able to go to the zoo, aquarium, Jurassic Quest, Ravens training camp, and an Orioles game in her short life. We were able to have family outings that we would not have been able to do without you. Those memories will forever be in our hearts and are so important to us.
