How HelpBLESS works

Someone asks, we check the post, and people respond.

If you need help

  1. Create a free account and confirm your email. This is required before you can post, comment or ask questions.
  2. Describe your need. Choose what kind of help you want - money, a bill paid, labor, volunteer time, a professional service, mentoring, a consultation, goods, transport or housing - and who it is for.
  3. Target the right people. Reach the whole world, or narrow to a country, state, city or ZIP / postal code.
  4. We review it. A human moderator approves every post before it goes public. Your first post is free; after that it’s $9.35 per post. Posts never expire and you can pause or stop any time.
  5. Add trust. Upload a selfie, passport, driver licence or national ID. We show a badge - never your document.
  6. Get paid every Sunday. Donations clear a 3-day safety window, then are sent in a weekly payout (PayPal or bank).

If you want to thank someone

  • Open People and look up a teacher, nurse, coach, mentor, artist or neighbor by name, school, subject or town.
  • Leave a free message of thanks, and send a gift of any size if you'd like to.
  • Teachers, nurses, artists and everyone else can create a profile and tell their story. They aren't asking for help, but anyone can send a gift. Profiles cost nothing to publish.

If you want to help

  • Browse by place, cause or type of help. Sort by urgency, closeness to goal or “needs a first supporter”.
  • Ask questions first - any email-verified member can comment before donating.
  • Donate securely by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay through Stripe. Or offer your time, skills, advice or goods.
  • Follow updates from the people you supported.
