(Disclosure: I participated in a campaign on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for CaringBridge. I received a promotional item as a thank you for participating. All thoughts are my own.)
Have you or a loved one ever experienced a life-changing illness or event? For more than 15 years, the nonprofit CaringBridge has served as a lifeline of hope, bringing together families struggling with illnesses and tragedies. One of my friends used it to keep friends and family updated on how her son was doing when he was in the hospital. Having to update lots of people is difficult when time is limited and not easy to do at midnight when everything is quiet and one can steal a moment away on the computer to gather their thoughts.
Sona Mehring, the founder of CaringBridge, wants to share stories to inspire hope through her new book, Hope Conquers All. Ranging from young children with cancer to adults awaiting transplants, these first-person accounts share the importance CaringBridge had in their personal journeys. For uplifting tales to share with those who are in need of love and support, or even to just reflect on how brave these individuals were through such troubled times, learn more about Sona Mehring’s book and how to purchase here: http://caringb.org/hope
CaringBridge is a brilliant invention. I have cancer and have a site on there which makes it so easy to update people whenever I can (or if I don’t feel up to it, someone else can post an update for me). One of the great things about it is that people can check your site when they have time. You don’t have to bombard them with email updates.
