The care of children with cancer, and its impacts on the child and family, has been a long-standing interest of mine. As a child in a single-parent household, I was deeply aware of the impact of childhood illness on the parent, particularly if there was a lack of support. There was a research gap in care of children with cancer in single-parent households. Given the lack of data, my goal is to expand how we can provide proper support to single parents raising their child with chronic illness. I hope to continue this study postgraduate opportunities.
