What Friends Need to Know ...

Someone recently remarked that one of the wonderful things about the WhatFriendsDo.com team concept is that it allows the person going through an illness to focus his/her entire energy on treatment and getting well - leaving all the day-to-day tasks to others.  We often feel so exhausted by our own daily lives when we are well.  We can only imagine the anxiety and exhaustion that can come from running errands, packing lunches and keeping the house tidy for someone going through chemotherapy, radiation or recovering from surgery.

Doing something as simple as returning a friend's trash can to its weekly spot after the trash collectors have come may not seem like it could possibly make a difference, but it can.  A simple act of kindness like that will also give your friend energy, and will be a wonderful relief to your friend's primary caregiver.

If your friend is going through an illness, grief, a move to a new home, caring for a newborn or caring for elderly parents, set up a WhatFriendsDo.com team today.  Communicating with The Blog will keep everyone informed.  The Guestbook entries posted for your friend will give great comfort over and over again.  The Help Schedule will allow you to coordinate people from all circles of your friend's life.  Many teams use the Help Schedule to coordinate things like: meals, driving children to pre-school, drive the friend to doctor appointments, friends to visit during chemotherapy.  It's easy, it's free, and it makes a difference!
