General Questions

What is NeedHelp Platform?

NeedHelp Platform is an AI-powered community platform that connects people in need with trusted helpers and volunteers. We focus on real, human support — from financial help to daily assistance and emotional support.

Who can use the platform?

Anyone in Canada can request help or become a helper. You must create an account and agree to our community guidelines to participate.

Requesting Help

How do I request help?

Simply sign up, describe your situation, and submit a request. Our AI helps match your request with helpers who are best suited to support you.

What kind of help can I request?

You can request financial support, food assistance, transportation, healthcare-related help, emergency needs, or even just someone to talk to.

Is requesting help free?

Yes. Creating an account and posting a request is completely free.

Helping Others

How can I become a helper?

Sign up, browse live requests, and choose how you’d like to help. You’re always in control of when and how you contribute.

Do I need special qualifications?

No special qualifications are required. However, certain requests may require verification or proof of experience for safety reasons.

Safety & Trust

How do you ensure safety?

Requests are not independently verified. We rely on community reporting, review reported content and remove requests that break our guidelines. Never send money to someone you don't trust, and don't share banking details in chat.

Is my personal information protected?

We use secure (HTTPS) connections and take reasonable steps to protect your information, as described in our Privacy Policy. Parts of your requests are public, so please don't include sensitive details such as health or immigration information.

AI & Ethics

How does AI help on the platform?

We're building AI tools to help categorize requests and suggest helpers. People always stay in control.

Does AI make decisions for users?

No. AI assists and recommends, but all decisions are made by real people. Transparency and fairness guide all AI usage.
