The
Lincoln Candlelighters
have been a great support organization as Lauren has struggled
with both episodes of her treatments. Here is some
additional information from this great group:
The Lincoln Candlelighters
is a support group for families of children with cancer or any
serious illness. Our parent support group and youth group meet
the first Tuesday of every month between 6:30 and 8:30 pm at
Tabitha Health Care, 4720 Randolph St., Lincoln, Nebraska.
(Come in the J Street entrance, and go to the meeting rooms in
the basement.)
What do we do at Candlelighters?
The parents have the opportunity to talk and ask questions of
others who have had experience with seriously ill children and
frequent hospitalizations. The kids play games and do craft
activities with supervision. Dinner is provided free of
charge, for everyone who attends.
The Lincoln Candlelighters also
has at least two events throughout the year for families to
get together and just have fun. Past events include picnics,
bowling, ice skating, the Lincoln Children¹s Museum, pumpkin
patch visits and cookouts. The whole family, including
siblings and grandparents are invited to all the meetings and
events. Events and outings are always free.
Our Mission
The Lincoln Candlelighters is a group organized for the
purpose of understanding the unique challenges faced by
individuals and families of those having cancer or other
serious childhood illnesses. It is our goal to provide
support, encouragement and hope to these individuals and their
families by providing an opportunity to share information,
resources and experiences.
