Features include:
- Personal, protected website where you can post health updates, and people are able to stay connected and leave words of hope and encouragement.
- A planner helps family and friends coordinate care and helpful tasks, like bringing a meal, taking care of children and pets and other needs.
- Ability to set-up a personal GoFundMe page to create a personal fundraising campaign for friends can easily find and donate.

What kind of privacy can people expect?
CaringBridge offers multiple privacy levels to fit everyone’s needs. You can make it as private or as public as you’d like. Personal data is protected and not sold. You won’t see intrusive advertising.
How is CaringBridge funded?
