Family life

When a child is diagnosed with cancer, the whole family feels it. Parents are suddenly managing hospital visits, other children, the home and a heavy emotional load, all at the same time. You are doing more than most people will ever understand.

Sabrcare is here to help your family feel steady again. We can connect brothers and sisters with counselling, help you explain the diagnosis to your other children, or simply sit with you on a difficult day. Supporting the whole family is as important as supporting the child.

School and education

Keeping up with school during cancer treatment is one of the biggest challenges families face. Hospital visits, tiredness and the emotional weight of treatment can make regular attendance impossible, and that is completely understandable.

We can help you talk to your child’s school in Goa, explore learning at home or in hospital, and help your child keep up. Going back to school when the time is right is a big milestone, and we want to make that step as smooth as possible.

Work and career

For many parents, a child’s cancer means stepping back from work, often suddenly and without pay. This adds money worries to an already very hard time. You are not alone, and there are options.

Sabrcare can help you understand your rights as a parent or carer, connect you with government schemes and employer support in Goa, and guide you through applying for financial help. You should not have to choose between being with your child and supporting your family.

Money and financial support

The cost of childhood cancer treatment can be very hard for families, especially those with limited income. Medicines, tests, travel and food all add up. At Sabrcare, we believe no family should be denied care because of money.

We work with families to find every source of support: government health schemes like Ayushman Bharat and Deen Dayal Swasthya Seva Yojana (DDSSY) in Goa, emergency funds, help with medicines, and direct financial aid. Talk to us, and we will help you find every resource available to your family.
