New Group Suggestion: "Elder Care Givers"

I'm not sure this is the method to suggest a new group. Those more DU literate, please point me in the right direction.

I know several people at facebook who are making great sacrifices in order to give their ailing parents wonderful, personal care at home. (At least two of those are also DU members.)

These care givers are serving all of our society by taking on this thankless task. They elevate us all with their selfless service to our most fragile members.

I don't know first hand, but I can deduce this duty is exhausting, scary and lonely.

It might be a small group; but those of us who care enough could also use the group to offer moral support and appreciation.
