ABOUT THIS EPISODE
On this Make A Difference Minute, I have Ashley Russell of Athens, Alabama, sharing how small acts of kindness have helped carry her through cancer treatments and chemotherapy.
When people hear about a cancer diagnosis, they often wonder what they can do to help. Ashley's answer is that it’s the little things matter. A surprise package in the mail filled with items to help during chemotherapy. A bag prepared by friends with snacks, blankets, fuzzy socks, and comfort items. Head wraps given with love after losing her hair. Help with her child when she needed support.
None of these acts could take away the diagnosis, but each one reminded Ashley that she wasn't facing the journey alone.
Sometimes encouragement doesn't have to be grand or expensive. A thoughtful gesture, a helping hand, or simply showing up can make a difficult day a little easier.
