Connecting Family and Friends When Health Matters Most

How Gifts Are Used

Your gift supports the mission of CaringBridge: to bring together a global community of care, powered by the love of family and friends, in an easy, accessible and private way. While funds are not provided directly to families, your gift helps those using the free service stay connected while they heal.

Your Gift Makes a Difference


For many CaringBridge users, the love and support of a CaringBridge community mean the difference between hope and discouragement. That’s the power of CaringBridge. It brings people and communities together – communities that care. Your donation makes a difference in the lives of CaringBridge users worldwide.
