Posting is free. A person reviews each need before it goes live. Posts never expire, and you don't need a target to hit.

What we stand for

HelpBLESS is for people who need something and people willing to give it. Here’s what we hold ourselves to.

  • Help is a gift, never a transaction

    Someone asks for what they need and someone else chooses to answer. Nobody owes anything back, and nobody has to earn the right to ask.

    How HelpBLESS works

  • Everyone is welcome to ask

    Anyone, anywhere can ask for money, time, skills or advice. Going through a hard time doesn’t count against you.

    See who is asking

  • Neighbors can be anywhere

    Distance shouldn’t decide who gets help. A stranger three time zones away can be the person who changes someone’s week.

    Browse needs worldwide

  • What is given stays given

    Our fee is published up front. The rest goes to the person who asked, with no hidden charges.

    See our fees

  • Trust you can check

    Verification is optional, and a badge only shows what we actually checked. We look for scam patterns, act on reports, and say plainly what we can’t confirm.

    How we keep giving safe

  • Small help counts

    Nobody has to fix someone’s whole life. A gift, a lift, an hour of your skills or a listening ear is already help.

    Find a need to help with

Most help here doesn't involve money

Fourteen of the sixteen kinds of help on HelpBLESS take no payment at all: an hour of childcare, a lift to an appointment, a second opinion on a lease, a working laptop, a straight answer to a question. Accepting an hour is easier than accepting a cheque, and it often fixes the problem outright.

Help from home in 30 minutes or less

All 30-minute ways to help →

A phone call, a quick read-through, a check-in. Each takes half an hour or less at a time, and you can do it from wherever you are. Some are a weekly call, so check the card before you offer.

How it works

  1. 1. Ask or browse

    Post what you need in a few minutes, or browse real needs by place, cause or kind of help.

  2. 2. Build trust

    Members can add photo, ID and address badges so people know who is behind a post.

  3. 3. Give and follow along

    Give money, time or skills. Owners post updates, and every donation shows its fee split.

Not everyone who deserves a gift is asking for one. Find the teacher who believed in you or the nurse who stayed late, and send them a thank-you of any size.

Built to be trusted

Scams hurt the people who need help most. These are the checks we use to keep them out.

  • Verified email first

    Posting, commenting and asking questions all wait until your email is confirmed.

  • Safety checks

    Every post is checked for scam patterns, and our team follows up on anything flagged or reported.

  • Photo & ID badges

    People can add a selfie, passport, driver licence or national ID. You see the badge, never the document.

  • Transparent money

    Donations are held for 7 to 14 days, then paid out weekly. The fee split is on every donation.

Help, wherever you are

Pick a country, state, city or ZIP code, or ask the whole world.

Posting is free, and so is asking again.

Publishing a need or a profile costs nothing. Pause or stop any of them whenever you want. We keep a platform fee of 15% on donations, donors can add an optional tip, and businesses can sponsor a cause or city. We tell you exactly what each covers.
