Story
Around two years ago, Ben was diagnosed with testicular cancer that was swiftly resolved with surgery. Unfortunately, on a recent CT scan he was found to have a recurrence of cancer involving his lymph nodes. He will be undergoing chemo infusions M-F every few weeks for the next few months. We all know Ben is the cook in the Graven household, so our goal is to have dinner prepared/delivered/provided to them on the days they spend at the infusion center and the weeks following, as outlined in the calendar below.
Special Notes
Because Ben and Britt need to limit their exposure to germs, dinner drop-offs will need to be as contact-less as possible! They will leave a cooler in their carport for deliveries to keep food hot/cold. If you or someone in your family is sick around the time of your dinner duties, please swap days with someone else or consider sending a doordash/uber eats instead! I (Jen Pedersen) work in Mt Pleasant M-F and will happily take dinners to them as I live just down the street. If transportation after work is tricky for you and you live in Mt Pleasant, their meals can be given to me to take to them after work!
