Keeping track of daily responsibilities can be difficult enough, but add cancer to the mix and it can be nearly impossible. The website Lotsa Helping Hands is a free service, offered through the Lance Armstrong Foundation, that organizes your loved ones that are ready and willing to help with your care. Asking for help is difficult. No one ever wants to “burden” or “bother” their friends and family and admit that they cannot do it alone. However, within minutes a web community can be created by one caregiver and sent to all of the people that would love to help out.
Whether it is a hot meal, transportation, or good conversation, it can all be arranged on your Lotsa Helping Hands site. It is a private site that can only be viewed by members that have been invited. Many people in your circle may not know each other. Friends, family, neighbors, colleagues or community organization members can all gather in this one place online to sign up for things that you need assistance with. You can also use your site to post up your GIST medical updates, photographs, and even receive encouragement and love on your “Well Wishes” message board.
Lotsa Helping Hands makes it very easy to develop your community. You will be supplied with many templates and instructions on how to make it work best for your situation. Once your site has been developed, volunteers can immediately begin signing up. What's more is that all volunteers that sign up for an activity will receive an email reminder one month, one week and one day before their scheduled time. That way, forgetting will be virtually impossible.
Scheduling is never a fun task. Let Lotsa Helping Hands free up your time so that you can spend more of it with the people you love, doing the things you love. Getting help has never been as effortless as it is now. Visit http://www.lotsa/ helpinghands.com for more information and to start coordinating your schedule today
