Our Mission
We are a passionate team of Black women MIT grads and developers who want to use technology for good. During our time on social media, over the past few years, we noticed an overwhelming amount of Zelle and Venmo requests for mutual aid assistance, many of which got lost in the chaos. This inspired us to create a solution: a platform where mutual aid can be easily found and offered in a central location.
We're building this platform to make mutual aid more accessible. Whether you're seeking help or offering support, our mission is to connect people in need with those who can help, fostering a more supportive community. This is an ongoing project, as there are many features that we plan to add to limit friction between asking for help and getting it.
We are so grateful to have you be part of this growing community, and we're excited about the change we can create together.
What We're Building:
- Centralized Mutual Aid Hub: A platform where mutual aid requests are gathered, ensuring that no post gets lost in the noise.
- Request Assistance: Easily post your needs for help, whether it's financial, food, or other forms of support.
- Offer Support: Browse through requests and provide assistance directly to those who need it the most.
- Community Focused: Build a strong, caring community by helping each other and making a difference together.
- Ongoing Updates: We're continually improving and adding new features to better serve our community.
