An answer for What Can I do to Help

I recently learned of a new free website that helps families and friends organize to help someone in need-Lotsa Helping Hands

To the question of “What Can I do to Help?” Lotsa Helping Hands is a private, web-based caregiving coordination service that allows family, friends, neighbors, and colleagues to create a community to assist a family caregiver with the daily tasks that become a challenge during times of medical crisis, caregiver exhaustion, or when caring for an elderly parent.

Each community includes an intuitive group calendar for scheduling tasks such as meals delivery and rides, a platform for securely sharing vital medical, financial, and legal information with designated family members, and customizable sections for posting photos, well wishes, blogs, journals, and messages.

Now, when someone asks “what can I do to help?” the answer is “give me your name and email address” – the system takes over and allows people to sign up and start helping.

The uses of Lotsa Helping Hands are endless. One area where there is a big need is caring for an elderly parent when siblings live in different parts of the country. This site can help keep everyone in the loop, coordinate with people who are local and can help out, and keep track of what’s going on.
