Funny Holidays - World Caring Day

Moral support from loved ones strengthens fortitude and instills hope for recovery in the most difficult cases This is the belief of Sona Mering, a programmer who retired in 2017 Back in 1997, she created a website for her American college friends The couple gave birth to a girl prematurely, who was named Bridget At that time, there were no social networks or other ways to quickly inform relatives and friends online about something important The girl’s parents, who were fighting for her life, did not have the time or energy to call everyone by phone Therefore, close people received information about the condition of baby Bridget on the website caringbridgeorg Unfortunately, the girl died during surgery at the age of 9 days However, the creator of the web resource, Sona Mering, decided to leave it so that other people could tell about their health to those who worry and care about them In 2001, the site hosted almost 4,000 personal user pages A year later, CaringBridge was registered as a non-profit organization, and June 7, the date the site was created by Sona Mering, became a holiday - World Day of Caring On the platform, people not only share information about their health, but also receive support from loved ones and those they do not know personally Often advice and kind words are needed not only by doctors’ patients, but also by those who care for bedridden patients or elderly family members Therefore, the platform is intended for a wide range of people who need participation and care The resource provides an opportunity to exchange messages about miraculous recovery stories, post words of encouragement and make donations In 2005, users of caringbridgeorg donated $1 million to charity Visitors to the platform have the opportunity to create their own website for free In 2012, more than 132,000 people donated to support CaringBridge In this way, they show concern not only for their sick loved ones, but also for strangers who want to be able to share information about their health with others World Caring Day was first celebrated in 2022 World Caring Day encourages you to inquire about the state of affairs and health of elderly relatives and friends, acquaintances and work colleagues, thus performing an act of sincere participation in their lives In honor of the holiday, people restore broken ties, share words of support, kindness and compassion, realizing that at the right time those around them will respond in kind World Caring Day is not a one-time event The holiday calls for showing love and care not only on June 7, but all 365 days a year
