Mission: CaringBridge is working toward a single vision: a world where no one goes through a health journey alone. In order to turn this vision into reality, we've made it our mission to build bridges of care and communication providing love and support on a health journey. CaringBridge is a global nonprofit social network dedicated to helping family and friends communicate with and support loved ones during a health journey. Thanks to our compassionate donors, anyone, anywhere can create a free personal website to easily share updates and receive the love and strength they need from their community during an illness or injury. A free personal website can be started at any time to share important information quickly during any type of health crisis. Since 1997, more than 900,000 CaringBridge websites have been created. Combined, they have received more than 2.5 billion visits. Today, a new CaringBridge site is created for every 12 minutes for someone experiencing a health crisis. (Less)

CaringBridge is a 501(c)(3) organization, with an IRS ruling year of 2002, and donations are tax-deductible.
