When it comes to finding the perfect gift for someone facing a health crisis, it's important to think about their practical needs, personal interests, and emotional wellbeing. It’s also worthwhile to keep in mind that the “perfect” gift doesn’t have to be something that you buy at the store or order online.

After several years in development as a web-based platform, users will now be able to broadly reach their surrounding community of support through a single portal instead of having to navigate multiple avenues to communicate, coordinate, chat, schedule, fundraise, and plan in order to rally around their loved ones when life throws them a curveball.

Showing up for a loved one during an untimely event is often a reflexive act. Yet, too often, the loved one’s specific needs either go unvoiced or get lost in translation. The good news is the barriers to delivering rockstar-level care can be avoided by simply learning how to provide support without having to ask, “How can I help?”
