Changed my world!
I have been using Caring Bridge for almost 18 months. My husband became very ill and for the first 10 days I was going out of my mind with worry for him and trying to keep family and friends updated of his condition. I tried setting up group text and email accounts but I would miss a group or someone with info. Finally someone suggested Caring Bridge and it took a load off my plate. My site has over 250 followers and has had over 8100 visits. I would have never been able to make that many contacts. And it’s easy.

Such a powerful tool to support friends!
Love the app! I was in high school when a peer of mine was in a car crash. It was really easy to share the story with other classmates, gracefully avoiding confusion, rumors, and made it easy to reach out to the family. What an amazing way to stay connected to friends during tough times.

Excellent app to keep people informed
This is a wonderful app for keep friends and family abreast of how someone going through difficult health challenges is doing. Caregivers and patients appreciate the support, but it gets tough to stay in constant contact while dealing with life’s challenges. This app fulfills that job very well
