Mom and Dad With Cancer Need Community's Help

You can help a local couple with cancer.

  The Medfield Neighbor Brigade is asking the community to help a local mom and dad as they each battle cancer.  The couple has lost their housing and most of what they own in order to pay for their initial diagnosis, treatment, and care.

Both parents are being treated for cancer simultaneously and, because of their mounting medical needs, they have found themselves without a place to live, a job, or a car to drive. Meanwhile, their two young children, ages 3 and 1, have been staying with relatives out …

  Are you looking at this year's Halloween candy, thinking, "What will we do with all this candy?"  The Medfield Angels/Neighbor Brigade network has the answer: Donate it to community programs and soldier cheer boxes. The Angels will be collecting leftover Halloween candy again this year on Thursday and Friday. All candy -- loose or bagged -- is welcome.
