WHEN ONE CHILD in a family is diagnosed with a serious illness it takes a toll on all of the family members. It can especially affect siblings of the sick child who will not only experience feelings of fear, anxiety, sadness, but they also tend to get less attention than their ill brother or sister.
SuperSibs! is an organization serving exactly these kids. Through referrals from all 50 states and every province in Canada they’ve ensured that no brother or sister of a sibling with cancer goes unsupported.
Kids These Days! producer Sarah Gonzales spoke with the founder of SuperSibs!, Melanie Goldish, at her office in Illinois.
