When
you or a loved one becomes ill, it impacts the
entire family... but it can also feel like it
"takes a village." These are some
of the resources we have found. Some are to
help caregivers organize care for an ill person
(such as getting the neighborhood together on
who is bringing meals what day). Others are
to help a person who is ill communicate with
others, such as posting your hospital visiting
hours, updates on your condition, or simply
sharing.
