Not long ago, I got a call from a friend that her 19-year-old daughter Liv had died by suicide. Their family was shaken to the core, never to be the same. My journey with Liv started when she was a young child. Her grandmother Penni was our first volunteer at There With Care, the nonprofit I started 18 years ago in Boulder to help children and families with a child facing a critical illness.
Executive Director Kathy Hansen Sweeny of There With Care joined host Olivia Horton to talk about how they are helping to bring community and care to families facing medical crises.
