We’ve all been in the position of feeling a little helpless when someone we love is struggling because of a life-changing event.  Whether they are ill, they’ve lost a loved one, or are just journeying through a hard time – everyone around them wants to help but they’re not sure how.  I recommend that you check out the website called http://www.whatfriendsdo.com/.  This site provides tools that can help you organize a team of volunteers, family and friends, to schedule meals, errands, child-care, home/lawn/car maintenance, you name it. This is a place where you can rally the troops so they can sign up for the tasks that meet their schedule and abilities.  Awesome idea!

The hunger for love is much more difficult to remove than the hunger for bread. ~Mother Teresa
