r/Assistance
Step 1 of 3

Register to ask for help

You can ask r/Assistance for any kind of help. To ask for money or goods, you need to register first. It takes about three minutes.

Only the moderators of r/Assistance see what you write here.

Before you start, check that

  1. You're 18 or older.
  2. Your Reddit account is at least 60 days old.
  3. You have at least 400 comment karma. That's not your total karma: tap your karma on your Reddit profile to see it.
  4. You've taken part on Reddit regularly for at least the past two months.
  5. Your account is in good standing: no karma-farming subreddits, and you haven't wiped large parts of your history.
  6. You won't ask for a loan or promise to pay money back. For loans, try r/borrow.
  7. You've read our subreddit rules. The moderators may ask you for proof of your situation.

Never delete a request

Givers see deleted requests as a red flag, so deleting one gets you banned: 14 days the first time, 60 days the second, then for good. Want a request taken down? Message the moderators instead.

Reddit tells us your username, account age and karma. We never see your password, and we can't post or send messages as you.
