Village guidelines

Care grows where dignity is protected.

These shared boundaries help Wendell’s Village remain safe, useful, honest, and hopeful.

Lead with dignity

Speak about the people receiving care as whole human beings. Protect their privacy, choices, and personhood.

Listen without shaming

Different families make different decisions. Share your experience without judging someone else’s limits, resources, or choices.

Protect privacy

Do not post addresses, account details, medical records, identifying documents, or private information that belongs to another person.

Share experience—not medical advice

You may explain what helped you. Do not diagnose, prescribe, or tell another member to begin, stop, or change treatment.

No selling or solicitation

Do not recruit clients, collect donations, promote unrelated products, or pressure members through private messages.

Keep the Village safe

Harassment, hate speech, threats, exploitation, and repeated boundary violations are not welcome here. Report concerns instead of escalating them publicly.
