October is Free Wills Month, meaning you can write your will for free with our free will writing service. 💚 Wills are important to protect your family, but is often something that people put off because they think it's time-consuming and expensive. We've worked with our partner, Bequeathed, to provide a way for families and supporters to make their will easily online, for free, to give security for the future. You can also choose to leave a gift in your will for Candlelighters. Whether this is big or small, gifts in wills are a very special way to protect the future for children with cancer. By leaving a donation to Candlelighters in your will, you are leaving a lasting legacy that will help us continue to invest in life-changing research, and support future generations of children and families facing childhood cancer – from diagnosis to recovery and beyond. 💕 Find out more at: https://lnkd.in/eZkGFydR

When was the last time you considered what creativity means to you? Maybe you’re a beginner baker, a renowned painter, a living room musician, an engineer, a craft enthusiast, or a writer. We are all creating something every single day, building the world that we want for ourselves and our community through our creativity. For a young adult, cancer derails the world they are building. Cactus Cancer Society’s Art Workshops provide a platform for young adults facing cancer to get inspired and express their creativity through art. But they’re about so much more than that! We all know what it's like to feel alone, but these workshops ease the isolation and anxiety cancer brings by connecting young adults with others who truly understand what they’re going through. Through the programs at Cactus Cancer Society, survivors experience a tangible reduction in anxiety, depression, loneliness, and psychological distress. We can’t do this work alone. Today, on #GivingTuesday, you can support these programs that create a safe space where young adults facing cancer can cope through creative expression and peer connection. You can provide the tools they need to make art, to find a community, and to not be alone in their experience. Will you help us reach our fundraising goal of $2,600 today?
