For the Bennetts
A Maplewood family, right now

Ella is 11. Her family could use a hand.

Ella started treatment this month. The road ahead is long, and the small things — a meal, a ride, an afternoon with her little brother — add up to a lot. Here's how you can help.

Their story

What's happening, in a few honest words

Told plainly, and only what the family is comfortable sharing.

In [month], the Bennetts learned that their daughter Ella — 11 years old, [a sentence about who she is] — would need to begin treatment. It came without warning, and it changed the shape of their days overnight.

Sara and Tom are doing what any parents would: pouring everything into Ella while still being there for her big sister Grace (14) and little brother Sam (6). That takes time, energy, and money that a family only has so much of. The appointments are many, the drives are long, and normal life still needs someone to hold it together.

This page is a way for the people who love them — and neighbors who've never met them — to lighten the load in real, practical ways. [a closing line the family wants to say]

— With love, the friends and family of the Bennetts
