Blood on HelpALife is voluntary. Always. Everywhere.
Paying for blood puts patients at risk, exploits vulnerable people, and is illegal in many countries. HelpALife exists to make paid brokering unnecessary — by connecting families directly with willing volunteer donors nearby.
What is never allowed
- Asking donors for money, or offering donors money, gifts, or favours for blood.
- Brokers, agents, or "arrangement fees" of any kind — including tips after donation.
- Reselling or forwarding donor contact details to anyone.
- Posting requests on behalf of paid-donor rackets or commercial blood sellers.
How we enforce it
- Every request is scanned for payment and broker language before publishing; flagged requests go to a human coordinator, not to donors.
- Requests are coordinator-reviewed before any donor alert is sent.
- Donor phone numbers are never public, so lists can't be scraped and resold.
- Anyone can report a request — reported requests are pulled from view pending review, and violators are banned.
If someone demands money for blood — don't pay. Contact the hospital blood bank, raise a free request on HelpALife, and report the person to us and to local authorities. Voluntary donors exist near you; our job is to find them.
