[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 739028, member: 12570"] She is in a Catch-22 situation here. She has to take time off to take her son to his treatments yet has to keep working so as to maintain her benefits which pay for those treatments. It sounds as though she needs a support network, whether through her family, her church, or perhaps her co-workers to help her not only get her son to his treatments but to help with those day-to-day things that get put on the back burner. This may be where you and your co-workers can best help. I am sure she could use a little break. Beyond that there are not many options availabe to her that she has not already taken advantage of. It is cases such as these where I would love to have the option of donating unused sick and/or personal days. Jon mentioned a regular unpaid leave. This is another option but she needs to find out how long her benefits would continue if she chose this option. She also needs to determine whether she could afford to go without a weekly paycheck and, if so, for how long. Please let her know that her son is in our thoughts and prayers. Dave. [/QUOTE]
