A friend recently brought this service to my attention. CaringBridge is a non-profit web site/service that offers free tools for creating a website to keep family and friends informed about loved ones who are ill.

In their own words…

“CaringBridge® is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit web service that connects family and friends during a critical illness, treatment or recovery.

A CaringBridge site is personal, private and available 24/7. It helps ease the burden of keeping family and friends informed. Patients and caregivers draw strength from loved ones’ messages of support.”

Friends and family can go to the site and leave messages and wishes, while the creators of the page can post details and progress about the loved one’s condition and progress.

While the services are free, donations are requested to help fund the site. This seems like a great service, and from what I can tell, is easy enough for anyone to use.
