Wondering if anyone has used MedGift.com? I read about this site in the December issue of Health magazine, and it seems like it could be a really helpful resource.

Founded by a young ovarian cancer survivor, it's a site where patients facing any serious illness/injury can create a gift "registry" for their friends and family (similar to a bridal or baby registry) of their Needs, Wants, and Wishes -- anything from help with medical bills to a gift card to buy a wig to babysitting, rides to appointments, or even just prayers.

Health magazine made it sound like you could make a general donation, but it looks to me like you have to know the individual (which makes sense of course, for privacy reasons). Just wondering if anyone has any experience with it, and perhaps it could be helpful to those of you who are needing help with medical bills or in other ways during treatment?

    I have not heard of it either but
    this sounds so great. So many people need so many things at times like this. I know many of my friends were just wanting to do something, anything. Thanks for bringing this up, Traci. Maybe someone will have some insight.

    Hugs, Renee
