Welcome to Kirby Johnson's PostHope Site

Welcome to the Kirby Johnson support family. Kirby was diagnosed with breast cancer in August 2021 and will be receiving treatment over the coming months. This site is for family and friends, old and new, to keep up to date with information and organise efforts to support her and her family. This page will serve as your home base for rallying the troops and receiving updates to support Kirby. Here's the plan:

Your First Step: Please take 30 seconds to click on the "Follow" button on the top right of this page. This will allow you to receive updates, read journal entries, share Kirby Johnson’s story on social media, and help the family with week-to-week calendaring needs (we're still not sure if we'll use this part yet). Though not mandatory to follow Kirby Johnson’s page, we encourage you to easily create an account with your name and email in order to be able to post photos, leave comments and sign up as a helping hand on the Calendar page. Feel free to upload a photo of yourself to your profile so we can get to know and recognise others on Kirby's support team. After clicking “Follow” above, read on to learn more about what you can do to help.

Journal: This tab is where you can read the latest entries posted for Kirby. You may see additional authors writing updates here to help alleviate pressure for Kirby and expedite information sharing. Each post is followed by a photo and name of the author of the entry. You can reply with supportive comments to any journal entry, or click on the name of its author to send a private message.

Posts: This is where you can leave an encouraging message for Kirby and her family, and to read thoughts left by others. If you have something pressing you'd like suggest that everyone sees, please don't hesitate to contact us via private message so we can consider sharing it more widely in the Journal sections. There will undoubtedly be many coordinated efforts and events ahead, and we want to make certain they’re organised and publicised through this site to make sure we have a single source of information.

Calendar: Please see this important section to learn what major events are happening and what the family might need right now. This will be an especially helpful section for locals in close proximity to the Johnson family, but will of course be dependent on the COVID-19 situation. This is an up-to-date calendar which will list the family's major events and immediate needs to help in the short term. 

Notifications: After clicking “Follow” above, you’ll then see a tab to manage “Notifications”. If you feel you’re receiving too many or too few email notifications, please check this section to tailor notifications to your areas of interest. For example, if you want to receive journal updates but not new calendar posts, or any combination of notifications from this site, you can do set them to your preference this section.

Don’t Forget! If you haven’t done so already, please click “Follow” on the top right. It’s your very next step to showing your support.

Love,

The Johnson Family.
