Common questions and answers for

helpers and people
receiving help.

We are learning along the way.
I WANT TO HELP  I NEED HELP

HelperOS allows helpers to connect with people needing help locally.

As the world prevents the hospitals from overcrowding, we have displaced hard working individuals & families who are now in danger of starvation.

HelperOS helps people to get groceries and comfort faster than anything available to date by matching help with helpers.

When dealing with other people you meet on this site consider safety first and use caution in all interactions with other users. Protect your personal information. Do not invite people to meet unless you trust them. Tell friends and family about your plans. Report all suspicious and offensive behavior here.

Please remember, YOU ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR INTERACTIONS WITH OTHER USERS.

Note to helpers

Your safety is our number one concern.
SAFETY

Please do not enter the home. Stay at least 6ft
(2m away). Shopping and in-delivery,
don’t socialize.

LOVE YOURSELF

If you take care of yourself and all ever
changing precautions, you can help more
people. Practice love towards other and
yourself included.

SHOPPING

Practice safety and use common
sense. If the person you are helping is
unreasonable, don’t help them and let
us know.

FAMILIAR NEIGHBORHOOD

Please go to a familiar neighbourhood. Don’t
risk yourself by going somewhere where you
don’t know or feel uncomfortable.

Receiving help

It’s a difficult time for you and we get it, but its a difficult time for us all.

Someone has changed their direction to deliver you food and in good faith. Be courteous. Check your emails regularly once you submit help – needed.

Maybe you know a friend that can also benefit from this service. Share, let us know how it went.

img3WHAT YOU NEED

Ask for what you need and not what you want.

Practice distancing, no hugs, no kisses – just a great wave is enough. Make it easy for the person delivering food at your home.

I can’t afford
rent?

We do not provide rental assistance, some governments are making legislations to protect renters from eviction. Most of us will be fine.

The person I am helping has 5 kids
and $40 isn’t enough money?

Due to all the urgent needs arising, we want you to deal with the case if you can. If you can’t, please let us know and we will investigate your concern and pass it to someone else.
