🎃 This Halloween, don’t let the “fear of asking” haunt you. While for many reaching out in a time of need can feel downright spooky, asking for help shouldn’t feel like a walk through a haunted house. Just thinking about how or what to ask for gives you chills. You’re worried you’ll be a bother, a burden, judged for not being able to hack it on your own. Being vulnerable sometimes means you end up ghosting your own feelings. And at Maitri, we understand. We have a neat little trick. An app that makes asking for and managing help easy. You’re three clicks away from setting up an ask and sharing it with your community. Now all you have to do is watch them show up for you in a meaningful way so you can focus on healing, what a treat! Curious? Here are 3 ways Maitri can make asking for help a little less scary: 1️⃣ Build your support Circle: A group of friends, family and loved ones who want to lend a hand. With Maitri, you know exactly who’s there to help – no surprises! It helps create a safe space for asking, and for giving. Set both yourself and your team up for success, and real, actionable support. 2️⃣ Set up tasks for your asks: From scheduling an appointment to running errands, picking up groceries, or just checking in, Maitri lets you ask for exactly what you need without feeling overwhelmed. No more worrying about feeling like you’re “too much”. Supporters can help when and where they can, with no pressure or guilt, with tasks that fit their preferences, comfort and schedules. 3️⃣ Support that grows with you: Life can feel unpredictable, especially when going through a health journey. Maitri makes it easy to send updates as your needs change and evolve. With just a few clicks, you can add, remove or adjust what help you’re asking for, making sure your support is always the right fit for you. Ready to ghost the fear of asking for help? 👻 Join the Maitri community today and discover how easy – and empowering – support can be.
