Divorce.com partners with TakeThemOnAWalk.com
Divorce is paperwork, agreements, and deadlines. It’s also lonely.
That’s why we’re proud to announce that Divorce.com is partnering with TakeThemOnAWalk.com, a free tool that helps friends and family organize walks for someone going through a hard time.
It started with one friend and one walk
TakeThemOnAWalk.com was created by Divorce.com’s founder after a close friend lost her son. People showed up the way people do, with food, cards, and “let me know if you need anything.” But when friends asked what she actually needed, her answer was simple: someone to take her on a walk.
So her friends started a shared sign-up sheet. They picked a day, showed up at her door, and walked with her. Some days they talked. Some days they didn’t. Either way, she got outside, and she wasn’t alone.
That sheet became TakeThemOnAWalk.com. Read the full story here.
Why it matters to the people we serve
Every day, we help people through one of the hardest transitions of their lives. We see how much of divorce happens outside the forms: the quiet evenings, the empty weekends, the days it’s hard to get out of bed.
Friends usually want to help. They just don’t know how. A walk is an easy yes. It’s an hour of company and fresh air, with no casserole required.
How TakeThemOnAWalk.com works
Start a walk calendar. Add who it’s for and the days that work. It takes about two minutes.
Share the link. Send it to friends, family, neighbors, and coworkers.
Friends sign up. People claim a day and a time and add it to their own calendar. The person being supported can subscribe to the calendar to see who’s coming.
It’s free, with no ads, and it works for any hard season: divorce, a loss, an illness, a new baby, a long recovery.
Know someone who could use a walk?
If someone you love is going through a divorce, or anything heavy, you can set up a calendar in a couple of minutes.
And if you’re the one going through it: it’s okay to let people show up for you.
