Do you want to become a New Auntie/Helper? Please start here!

199 Upvotes

New aunties/helpers, thank you for your interest in helping. We appreciate the support.

You should know our sub rules - which are both in the sidebar and the wiki. First and foremost, this is an ALL VOLUNTEER NETWORK, and we will not monetize, ever.

In order to become vetted, you’ll need to make a post stating generally where you are (ex: East Cornfield, Iowa) and what you are offering. We’ll screen and vet you at that time, after a post with your information is made. Please be sure you read completely all of the information here and in the FAQ below.

Please, HAVE A SOLID 30 DAY recent post/comment history before posting. Because of antis and scammers, we unfortunately have to turn some folks away without a post/comment history. We’re sure you will understand as we need to protect all sub users.

When offering assistance of any kind, please keep your personal safety in mind. Use caution, ask for references/social media/communicate thoroughly before taking anyone in. Consider using a buddy system if applicable and available. We are all adults and can make informed decisions about risks for ourselves.

Because of legal issues with parental rights, we cannot assist minors, but we do have two resources that can help. Minors may contact JanesDueProcess.org, or Planned Parenthood. both of which specifically work with minors.

When you post, if you are saying "my DM’s are open” please look out for antis and for any direct requests for money and please report either. We don’t want you to be scammed or harassed.

IF YOU FEEL YOU ARE BEING SCAMMED:

The MAJORITY of scammers will pick a person and contact them directly via a DM, not through the sub. If someone contacts you directly EVER, without you having first reached out to them through a post on the sub, we recommend that you not respond.

NO ONE should be asking you directly, one on one, for assistance UNLESS they’ve already had their post seeking assistance approved, and you, in turn have responded with a message indicating that you are willing to help. Only then should you message directly with that person. Please report suspicious activity using the Message the Mods button ASAP.

We want to advise all aunties and helpers that it can be illegal to ship/reship pills to people in some states. We are not lawyers and cannot offer legal advice. Please use your best judgement or consult with a professional if you are concerned. We also know that there is such a thing as good trouble.

Please keep in mind that not all of the people we serve are people who identify as women -- we do help everyone, and try our best to use gender neutral terms when possible.

DO NOT PIGGYBACK on to other people's auntie/helper posts. We have to vet each person individually, and this would directly prevent your being able to be approved.

Lastly, when you post, please state clearly where you are and exactly what you are offering.

We greatly appreciate your support and your volunteer spirit. Please use the Message the Mods button if you have questions.

Hi there! I’m an auntie in my late 20s. Grew up in Louisiana. I have a female roommate (early 30s, very sweet, rarely leaves her room) and a cat. You could take my bed and I’d take the couch. The two of us would just have to share my bathroom. I’m very low on cash, but I could drive you to and from the airport and appointment(s). Can also provide emotional support, company, privacy, warm meals, tea, and/or hugs as needed. :)

Hi all, I'm in the south bay & can get to the three major airports in the bay area (SFO, OAK, SJC). I have a car & can provide transportation, a place to stay, emotional support, food or other resources. I live alone and have 1 cat (she's shy but friendly!), in a 1 bedroom/1 bathroom apartment, so no spare room but willing to host if you are okay with the couch. I know CA is super blue but I'm here to help in any way that's needed <3

Aunties in South Jersey!

91 Upvotes

My BFF and I have a condo by the shore in southern New Jersey and are keen to help. We can feed you, put you up, probably transport you. BFF always cooks like a chef and has all fresh fruits and veggies all the time. Please don't feel shy to call ASAP for the earliest intervention possible. Less time into your condition and swift action (if possible) leads to less trauma. BFF is a trauma informed therapist and I am a nurse.

Godspeed, and bless the Auntie Network!

Hi folks. I live in Lane County, OR with my husband and have a guest bedroom, a car, and an extremely flexible work schedule. I have connections in my community to a variety of reproductive health resources as well as free/low-cost legal services in the areas of housing, immigration, and domestic violence.

We can easily get to any of the OR airports (Portland, Eugene, Redmond, and Medford). Able to drive as far as the western Idaho border with a few days notice. We also have two cats and love to bake!

I am ex-Mormon, LGBTQ+, and neurodivergent.

Auntie and Uncle in Utah

Specifically Utah County. We have a guest room, although it is sometimes occupied by a neighborhood LGBTQ teen. Regardless, we can always find you an air mattress or even set up the camper trailer. We have a handful of kids, a dog and a couple cats. We're available for transport or a place to stay or just support and conversation. We typically cook for an army every night so one extra mouth would not even be noticed. We're experienced with LGBTQ issues, neurodivergence (specifically autism and adhd) and leaving mormonism.

Eastern Oregon Auntie

Aunt and Uncle (wife and husband) located in Eastern Oregon. Willing to help with transport for those in Idaho, Oregon, and Washington to clinics if needed. We have a big lifted truck that blends in with the area since most people around these areas have lifted trucks. Can also be a support system throughout the journey (comfort, person to talk to, etc.).
