This company responds to reviews, but usually not within the first month
Unfortunately, this life is short, even if it is long. We may all need one day a heart that cares for us and a hand that reaches out to help us. Let us all live in love, safety and peace, and let us cooperate in our worries and pains until the end. I am very influenced by the Western cultures and way of life, especially the Anglophone culture. I love volunteering for humanitarian reasons. I love assisting the others, especially those who cannot depend on themselves like the elderly people, people with special needs, people with disabilities, and children. I feel so good about myself, comfortable, and happy when I offer a helping hand to those who deserve it.
Update: the company responded to my review by immediately placing blame on me, and ignoring the several emails I have sent them over the course of a year and a half. They want me to delete the review or change it to 5 so they can get more people to fall for their scam. Please do not donate to this company, donate to your local community that you can validate with your own eyes and in person. They need it more than whatever this website is doing with your hard earned money. This is my advice to you when dealing with this company, please be safe. Look at the image I attached. The name in the message doesn't even match the name on the account. I repeatedly reached out to them multiple times to stop charging me. I never even signed up for the donations, I had to call paypal to get involved and they said this place had been charging me through paypal as a guest account and that is why I could not find it to stop it on my side. They had to go through several additional steps to get ElderHelpers (more like ScamHelpers) to stop charging me. I reported them to PayPal and I am reporting them to the FBI https://www.ic3.gov/

I work in a plastic injection company as a maintenance technician. One of my most important interventions is to perform preliminary maintenance on the machine as well as repair all faults completely. I have previously worked in the field of agriculture and farming.
Thank you so much for your participation in our wonderful community!
My background allowed me to get involved in volunteering. I thus have a global vision of the functioning of a company and the interaction between its professions. I propose to put my experience and knowledge at your service.

I have never been a member of a volunteer association, but through my experience with some people I participated with in environmental volunteering and elderly care. It was a short period, but I liked it and I want to have a greater experience and develop myself and make volunteering something essential in my life.

I am writing to express my interest in volunteering with your esteemed organization, which dedicates its efforts to supporting the elderly. My deep passion for helping and standing by those in need, particularly the elderly, is what drives me to reach out to you today.
I have gained valuable experience in volunteering and assisting others through my previous involvement in several community initiatives aimed at providing material and emotional support to those in need. Additionally, I have a quick learning ability, which allows me to handle various situations and challenges effectively.
I believe that working with the elderly is not just about offering help but also an opportunity to learn from their life experiences and provide them with the care and attention they deserve. It would be an honor to be part of this noble humanitarian work and contribute to improving their daily lives.
I kindly ask you to consider my application to join your team and to take part in achieving the association's noble goals

Introduction Volunteer work is an opportunity for many people to respect themselves, increase their self-confidence, and gain experience and knowledge to form a leadership personality that contributes to building society and achieving peace among its people. How beautiful is that feeling when you draw a smile on someone's face by offering them assistance in something you are capable of doing, without expecting any financial compensation that would diminish the value of the work you have accomplished. How beautiful are those words and advice that you can send to a child or teenager in order to overcome that difficult stage and find solutions to the problems they encounter.
I read and researched about elderberry.I loved their work and the way they presented it to get people excited to join.
Thank you so much for your participation in our wonderful community!

Salmon is lucky if I get the chance to volunteer in elderly care, I will be very happy

I signed my dad up today and after looking at the reviews I'm afraid I may have gotten him involved a scam. There was never a code given after I paid the 50 dollars so I immediately sent a cancelation request but I'm afraid they will bill him continuously like the people in the reviews. I may just have to cancel the card...this is horrible.

I signed up for a month and was able to find a helpful volunteer after only 4 phone calls! Everything started out well & I was thankful for this service. Down the road, however, the helper did a few things that were deemed inappropriate, such as removing a painting from the wall, with who knows what intention since he was stopped in his tracks, and "permanently borrowing" a book without permission. He had a history of mental problems for which he had been hospitalized per his own admission.
I believe that helpers should be more thoroughly vetted by ElderHelpers, and those who utilize their services should know that they do so at their own risk. What started out as a most promising experience turned out to be very disappointing in the end.

My husband signed up on 11/21. Our "donation" was withdrawn right away. Understandably, due to the holiday, we expected a delay. However, it took two weeks to get a response. All we needed was a code to be able to contact a volunteer. Instead, we kept getting the same email requesting a sign up and donation. When he finally received the code, he made 9 phone calls. The only two numbers that answered had moved out of the area. The other numbers were either no longer working, so a message was left. No one has responded 24 hours later. The latest from elder helpers is another request for our zip code? Don't you have our registration? Ridiculous.
I signed up to get help for my 90 + year old in-laws. Not really impressed. Many of the volunteers I called either never returned my calls or stated they were no longer involved with this organization. I am not paying $50 a month for nothing! They also tell you that it is the client's responsibility to report wrong or disconnected numbers. Really? Then what am I paying for? If they had a better business model they would at least keep their database updated and regularly check in with both the client's and volunteers. I can't recommend this organization for my area in South King County Washington state.

You charge $50 a month? That is not clear in your advertising. I tried to find your business on Better Business Bureau USA San Diego Ca, but no listing. What is your full contact information please so I can research you on BBB?
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer's satisfaction.
Elder Helpers is a user-friendly, web-based service. We believe that compassion at its finest is free. Volunteers register to offer their services based on their true desire to help elders. Elder Helpers strives to safely and conveniently connect these dedicated, passionate volunteers with elders in their local communities. We are a tax exempt organization and the contributions cover our operating costs. Our volunteers are true volunteers. For a tax deductible monthly donation of $50, you can contact as many volunteers as you would like, to ask them for as much help as you would like. We do screening and background checks and our website makes it convenient for you to locate volunteers where you need them and get to know them and the help they are willing to offer. Enjoy the safety and convenience of elderhelpers.org!
We are not supported by any government money. Solely volunteers, elders and their relatives help us pay for the technology and people making this service possible. Contributions from volunteers, training packets delivery, contributions from elders and relatives are handled by a third party meeting the best industry standards and is subject to change. Background checks are handled by www.IntelliCorp.net, a Verisk Company. We recruit our volunteers in reputable places and carefully screen all users. This service is new and innovative, we strongly encourage any visitor of this page to educate themselves by reading our FAQs at www.elderhelpers.org/faq and contact us via email for more information. Thank you.
Elderhelpers.org started in May 2010 to match volunteers with elders in need of help within their own community.
In the middle of June 2015, we have decided to stop offering a refund policy since it was rarely respected by our users. We switched to a third party meeting the best industry standards to offer tax deductible donation receipts, easy cancellation, and increased security.
We now only let informed people about our service (having read our FAQs carefully, and checked our listings of volunteers themselves) join our community. Each user gets access to our safe and convenient service for a small monthly contribution. We do not offer refunds anymore. There is no more subscription, monetary contribution is now considered a donation. And it is tax deductible!
People joining our community are asked to be patient, nice to our volunteers, and to report wrong and disconnected phone numbers to us, which is the only way that we can keep a database clean and up-to-date. This website is user supported: volunteers give their time and when they can donate money, elders and their relatives participate fifty dollars a month, and report their results to benefit the entire community of users.
Thank you so much for your participation in our wonderful community!
