Family Care Coordinators

Your Dedicated In-Home Care Team

At Here to Serve, we understand that every family’s cancer journey is unique, which is why we provide personalized support tailored to their individual needs. Each family has access to a dedicated Family Care Coordinator who helps them navigate the challenges and complexities that arise at every stage.

Family Care Coordinators are the heartbeat of our organization, activating, engaging, and managing community support. They provide a done-for-you personalized array of services to each family with an understanding of impending needs helping mobilize and manage volunteers and resources. They also set up the family’s online care community platform leveraging social media to fill it with family, friends, neighbors, and loved ones who wish to help. This enables parents to stay focused on their family’s immediate needs. 

Our Family Care Coordinators will:

  • Conduct a Needs Assessment and Intake
  • Set up a GoFundMe page and promote it
  • Connect families with resources they never knew existed
  • Set up Online Care Community activities, including:
    • Errands
