Love for the Lathrops

Chapel Hill, NC

Story

Hi family and friends, As you've probably already heard, Allison was diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer in early July and treatment is already under way. She has an excellent medical team at UNC-Chapel Hill Cancer Hospital who are guiding her care. Allison and David could really use some support from you for the everyday things like meals and help with the kids.  They are adjusting to their "new normal," as if raising a 2 year old and 6 month old wasn't hard enough! Allison will be receiving chemotherapy every 3 weeks and the first 7-10 days after chemo are really hard on her.  Right now, we want to make sure they are well fed and David has some extra help with the kids (check calendar below to sign up). Meals on Sunday/Tuesday/Thursday would be really appreciated for now. We will update this page as their needs change.  Thank you for checking in and showing your love and support for Allison, David, Harvey, and Vivian!


Special Notes

Favorite Meals: Macaroni & Cheese, Mexican, Pasta Favorite Restaurants: Monterrey Mexican, Alfredo's Pizza, Bar Taco, Al's Burgers  **please only bring enough food for 2 adults, 1 toddler**   **please no beef or fish for Allison**  Dinner time is usually 5:30 PM, so meal drop offs around 5 PM would work well. The times that David needs the most help with the kids are between 5:30-7:15 PM so he can have an extra set of hands for dinner/bedtime when Allison isn't feeling well. If anyone would like to take Harvey for a playdate, 9-11 AM or 3-5 PM on weekends would be really helpful.   Allison's immune system is too weak during the 7-10 days after each chemo, so she shouldn't have any visitors during that time.
