	Lotsa Helping Hands was created in response to this desire for more meaningful civic engagement. In our demanding, technologically advanced and constantly changing world, we have sometimes diminished the role that community has always played in the human spirit. Yet today, many are waking up to this absence and re-energizing their commitment to “community,” learning more about the role they can play to enhance it—whether “community” refers to their close family and friends, their schools or their local neighborhood or town. Lotsa Helping Hands provides a platform for this awakening; using the tools of the virtual world to enrich the lives we share with our families, friends, neighbors and colleagues.

	'''How We Achieve Our Vision:<br>'''		'''How We Achieve Our Vision:<br>'''

	We use technology to bring people together—to help people who are experiencing the challenges of caring for someone in crisis or over a long-term period. They may have difficulty asking for help. Or they may be overwhelmed with offers of help, with requests for update requests or returning phone calls. Conversely, family members, friends, neighbors and colleagues want to do something, but they aren’t sure what they can do or how they can best lend a hand.

	We help caregivers by giving their “circles of community” a way to help. Friends, neighbors, and colleagues can create a free Community web site to help manage the daily tasks that become a challenge during times of need and keep everyone up to date on what’s happening.

	'''A Personal Beginning:'''<br>		'''A Personal Beginning:'''<br>

	Lotsa Helping Hands was founded out of a personal family caregiving experience. When Barry Katz’s wife Carole was diagnosed with ovarian cancer, he was overwhelmed with offers of help. When Carole lost her battle with cancer, he and his best friend Hal Chapel founded Lotsa Helping Hands to help family caregivers in similar situations.
