Request Help

Help is one message away.

Pick a category, say what you need and when, and let the people two streets away answer. No favours owed, no explanation required.

Requesting help in the Haven app across five categories.

How it works

Five categories, one short form.

Childcare, school pickup, groceries and errands, emotional support, or household help. Choose what fits, add the detail that matters, and post it to your village.

  • If your village cannot assist, your request can be anonymously broadcast to the closest nearby village(s).
  • Set the category, timing and how urgent it is.
  • Goes only to verified members of your villages.
  • Reply privately, or let the first person who can help take it.

Why mothers use it

It is not a favour bank

Nobody is keeping score. Ask when you need to, help when you can.

The people are close

Requests go to your neighbourhood, not to strangers across the country.

Everyone is verified

Every member provides verified contact information before joining.

It is always free

Requesting and offering help is part of the free community side of Haven.

If nobody nearby can help

Your request can reach the next village over.

Small villages are the point — but a small village can also be busy. If nobody in yours is able to help, your request can be anonymously broadcast to the closest nearby village or villages, so it reaches more people without identifying you to anyone outside your own village.

  • You choose whether a request may be broadcast — it never happens automatically.
  • Broadcast requests carry no name and no exact address.
  • Only verified members of neighbouring villages can see them.
  • Anyone who offers help still comes back through your own village first.

Asking, from first tap to thank-you

Three screens is the whole flow.
