Why the community needs usFamilies caring for a terminally ill child experience a great deal of strains and stresses brought on by the demands of caring for a child with very complex needs 24 hours a day 7 days a week. It is easy for family relationships to become strained and all too often the siblings of these children can also be overlooked.
