When a life-changing event happens, friends and family want to help! The WhatFriendsDo.com webtool is a FREE website that can help family and friends form a "Team" and respond in an organized and helpful
way. Helping a friend through a life-changing event involves lending a hand with meals, transportation
and other tasks. These events also call for understanding, love and uplifting support.

Easy Cheer for the Next 5 Days !

September 3 – Picnic Day – many people use Labor Day for picnics and end of summer celebrations.  But some people are not able to get out and enjoy a picnic – so pack a picnic and take it inside to your friend! 

September 4 – Music to My Ears Day – music is an amazing way to bring comfort and joy to a friend.  Give your friend a CD, send an iTune, or even just spend some time together listening to your friend’s favorite music.

September 5 – Smell the Roses Day – if you grow roses, cut a bouquet to share with a friend today.  And take time today to think of all the things in your life that “smell good”.

September 6 – Fight Procrastination Day  - today a good day to ask your friend if help is needed with dreaded but necessary paperwork, or with thank you notes, or with cleaning out a closet.  Don’t wait til tomorrow!  Do it today!

September 7 – Monkey Business Day – this is a day to do something spontaneous and FUN.  Invite your friend to go for an ice cream cone… invite a child to the zoo … bake cupcakes and deliver them to caregivers, just for fun!  (And maybe include a bunch of bananas!)

How the WhatFriendsDo.com website works

A coordinator (family member or close friend) completes a brief registration process, and a “Team website” is created. In just a few minutes, the WhatFriendsDo.com webtool will help you customize a Team website that can be used to:

• Coordinate schedules for meals, childcare, errands and other needs.
• Provide information updates via your own Team blog.
• Post photos to keep your Team inspired.
• Provide a guestbook for messages to your friend.

The WhatFriendsDo.com webtool then guides the coordinator through potential activities the Team may use to help their friend. From the Team’s home page, your friend’s support network can access an activities calendar, sign up to help, read updates on the situation, write their own messages of support on the guestbook, and much, much more.

WhatFriendsDo.com team pages have privacy protection allowing for the option of controlling who may visit the team site.
