The seashell connection is a hotline that brings together a recently diagnosed child and a child with at least one year of dealing with the same type of cancer. The understanding of another young person who shares the same experience can be one of the most comforting voices in an ill child's life and a welcome outlet for discussing the feelings and fears that may be difficult to discuss with parents and medical professionals. There are hospitals around the area with pediatric oncology wards that often connect families with the cjcf support program.
