New mobile app "AllowMe!" helps create a community of care around a person at the end of their life

Hi all,

This is from Palliative Care Australia, discussed in their recent web post:

Palliative Care Australia (PCA) is proud to announce the release of a new mobile app, AllowMe!. The app assists people who are caring for someone with a life-limiting illness by mobilising their existing community to help with practical tasks. PCA developed AllowMe! in response to feedback from carers, people with a terminal illness and friends and family members telling us:

How caring for someone with a life-limiting illness is rewarding but can also be emotionally and physically demanding without support from others.
How difficult it is to ask for help from extended family and friends
People not knowing how to help, not wanting to say the wrong thing or ‘get in the way’.
How difficult it can be for the person with a life-limiting illness to stay connected with their extended network, which can lead to feelings of isolation and loss.
People may experience anticipatory grief whilst caring for someone with a terminal illness.

Kind regards,

Margaret
