Organizing the Battalion

Coordinating the logistics of cancer care can feel like a major military operation. Getting to and from various appointments, taking care of meals and handling the usual routine of daily life can set your head swimming. That's why we think LotsaHelpingHands.com is a Web site worth knowing. Although the site offers the usual blogging tools and photo sharing, its core value lies in its calendaring functions. Users can set up a Web site and invite friends and family to view it. Members of your online community can then sign up for various tasks and activities. It's a simple site that will help you stay organized.

Need to get your mom to her chemotherapy infusion at the same time as your kids' soccer practice? Post a call for help. It saves lots of phone calls and e-mails to figure out who can do what when. And it gives you an easy answer when someone asks how they can help.

Next time someone asks for marching orders, send them to LotsaHelpingHands.com.
