No money-transfer intermediary
I will not receive money into my account and forward it, withdraw cash for someone else, move funds between strangers, deposit cheques, buy gift cards/crypto, or act as a pass-through for payments.
This is a small informal personal initiative. If you have a reasonable request and I think I can help safely, practically and legally, I may be able to contribute some time, coordination or hands-on help. There is no charge for this page and no guarantee that I can accept a request.
You do not need to send money or book anything. Explain what is going on, who needs help, the approximate area, what you are asking me to do and when it matters. I will decide case by case whether I am actually a sensible person to help.
These rules exist so a genuine attempt to help does not become a financial, legal or personal-safety problem for either side.
I will not receive money into my account and forward it, withdraw cash for someone else, move funds between strangers, deposit cheques, buy gift cards/crypto, or act as a pass-through for payments.
I will not transport unexplained sealed packages, weapons, illegal goods, controlled substances, unidentified medication or high-risk valuables for strangers.
This is not emergency response, medical care, childcare, personal support work, legal representation or another regulated professional service. Use the appropriate qualified or emergency service when that is what the situation needs.
I will not participate in requests that depend on hiding something from a bank, police, retailer, employer, family member or institution. Artificial urgency never overrides verification.
I may ask for enough information to understand or independently verify the situation. I may suggest a safer version of the request, decline without taking it on, or stop if something no longer feels appropriate.
Who needs help, what is needed, where roughly, when and what you expect me to do.
I look at safety, practicality, legality, time, distance and whether I am actually useful.
If it seems suitable, we confirm the relevant people and details before anything happens in person.
No commitment exists until I explicitly agree to the specific request.
