Get Help

We know how hard it can be to ask for help.

We’ve designed this app to make sure all of the power is in your hands.

You don’t have to out yourself publicly. You decide how much info you share.

You can engage with offers of help over phone or email — those offering help cannot seek you out directly.

How It Works

1. Sign in using Facebook or email.

2. Select all the categories of help you are seeking.

3. Agree to our Community Guidelines and best practices. 

4. Enter your postal code. The system will match you to people who can support you on your request, sorted closest to farthest away from you. 

5. Connect only with the offers of help you feel most comfortable with.

6. Once created you can withdraw or edit your request at any time. Community safety is important! Please be alert for spam, scams, and anything that may increase the risk to the community members using this service and flag those responses.

Note: Those who offer help cannot search for you. Only you can initiate the exchange.  If you don’t see many offers, don’t panic. We are new and are building up a network of people. Check back soon.
