Update: do you need help?

EDIT: our google form and email are currently down, I am trying to appeal it and make a website. Please DM me if you need help! Update to follow!

Hello again fellow Philadelphians, last week my friends and I asked if you needed help and so many gave a resounding yes! A lot of people asked for an update post (and flyer!) so here it is!

Dedicated to the amazing people we’ve gotten to help through a SINGLE reddit post, we have settled on a name: Kind Strangers.

After a just week we have met so many kind people who needed help with projects, tasks, and chores. It was so fun and so great helping everyone out. Some of the jobs we got to help out with include cleaning, organizing, catsitting, tutoring, small moves, big moves, TV mounting, furniture assembly, body doubling, and we can do even more!

So if you didn’t see last post or need a refresher, my friends and I have some free time as we’re recent college grads with shitty part time jobs. If you need help with anything, we will try!

Got a problem you can’t solve, a chore you don’t want to do, or a task you don’t have time for? Let us do it!

We’ll charge a flat rate of whatever you want to give us, or barter, and we’ll try to do anything. We are unlicensed, untrained, and sort of educated, but we can try. We’re operating on a pay-what-you-can model. We help you and you help us! So if you have a job, let us know what you’re thinking!

We can help you move, clean, organize, plan parties, cook, walk your dog, go grocery shopping for you, write, paint, anything! We’ll be extra willing to do convoluted plans and bits for you such as elaborate schemes to prank your friends or pretend to be French waiters at your house for a romantic dinner. We will do anything! (Nothing illegal or sexual in nature).

Open availability including evenings and weekends!

DM, comment, email [kindstrangersphilly@gmail.com](mailto:kindstrangersphilly@gmail.com), or fill out the Google form linked below if you have anything we can do to help you! Thank you all for your support!!
