To form caregiving communities which provide non-medical physical, social, and emotional support, for a loved one who faces a life-threatening illness.

2. eHope helps create face-to-face caregiver communities which begin with a nucleus of 15-20 individuals consisting of friends, family members, neighbors, coworkers and friends.
   
   
   
3. eHope facilitates instructional meetings to assist in organizing caregiver communities, in a way where the care recipient's needs are met and no single individual is over-burdened.
   
   
   
4. eHope helps to identify the collective abilities in each caregiver group, and fosters a strong sense of community between group participants.
   
   
   
5. eHope creates and hosts private caregiver web sites which communicate day-to-day needs.
   
   
   eHope sites also provide a central collection point for multimedia memories (photos / audio / video).
