Human Tribe Project

As quoted from the Human Tribe Project website's home page:

Here's how you help your friend in need. Whether it's cancer, a transplant, an accident or any crisis really, your friend needs support and this is where you give it. Create a free Tribe Page, email the people you know will care, build support and help your friend pay the bills.


I found the Human Tribe Project online after receiving the news that my friend had been diagnosed with breast cancer. As stated above, one can create a "tribe" page, for yourself, or someone else. You can invite people to join the "tribe." All of that is free. The group encourages tribe members to purchase "team tags," necklaces of stainless steel or silver. 75% of the cost is collected, and a check is sent monthly to the designated person. The other 25% goes to the creators of the website. 


The person for whom the site is created is able to contact all "tribe members" through the website, and keep them up to speed with medical appointments, progress, what have you. Tribe members are able to leave inspirational messages in the "guest book." 


My friend found this to be a good resource for her and her family.
