from academic coach: Badger Fund Update
Academic Coach
gives an update on the Badger Fund: "Badger tells me that in just 48 hours, 59 people gave a total of $2,100."
What does this mean to the Badger Family? Hospice.
Thanks to your generous donations, there is now a professional support network in place to help the Badgers through this time. With Hospice involved, Mr. Badger’s pain medication has been much more closely monitored, the dosages increased, and the nurses who come twice a week have reassured him that they will keep him from suffering physically. This has been a huge relief. In addition to helpful medical care, Hospice arranges for volunteers to come by on a regular basis. This makes it possible for Badger to run to the grocery store, see a movie with Badger Boy , or just take a shower, without worrying. The majority of Hospice volunteers have had someone close to them die of cancer – so they have the empathy of someone who has been in the same situation, and can knowledgably answer questions about what to expect. The Badgers’ grief is still immeasurable, but much pain and fear has been allayed.
