We are working with a non profit consulting firm called Bridgespan that helped us put this survey together to help us quantify the benefits of Ben's Friends. The hope is that we can use the data to make the communities better and to apply for grants so that we can serve more patients in disease communities that we do not currently serve. If you have a minute today, we invite you to take our short survey to help us prove that getting support in a community improves one's health and outlook. **Survey link : [https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/6R8TB82](https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/6R8TB82)** ---

I took it, too. It's very short and sweet. I hope it helps us get funding for new communities! ---

You are so kind TinaWi, but the community created this site, not Ben and me. This is a gigantic group effort. There are over 200 volunteer moderators that make these communities work! :) ---

OK, done, Ben. It really is a short and simple survey. I say this as someone who hates taking surveys. ---
