Answers:
It would be nice to have a big giant card or poster and have tons of students and teachers sign it to show they care!. That would really make her feel special and show her that people support her through this!. It would also be nice to take up a collection of money to give to the family because things like this really drain a family financially!.

You're awesome to care so much!.!.!. You have a big heart!. I wish there were more people like you!!!!!Www@Answer-Health@Com

The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society can help you with your school doing a fundraiser called "Pennies for Patients"!. Look them up on the web and contact the branch in your area!. You can maybe get the boy's football/basketball teams to shave their heads and the girl's teams to wear hats/bandanas in support and raise money at a local game!. Ask your mom if she and other parents can deliver meals to the family while she's undergoing treatment!. Just be there for her and treat her like you did before she got sick!. Hoping she's doing well -- from one cancer survivor to another!.!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

get the whole school involved and do a hat day!.!.!. a lot of times people with cancer lose their hair so maybe everyone in the school could wear a hat and show their support!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I would say just be her friend!. When I'm sick or my friends are sick, being there and making them laugh and forget about their problems just for a bit is wonderful!Www@Answer-Health@Com
