Shelp was born out of a deep personal need and a keen observation of college life. We saw countless students posting on social media, pleading for help with tasks, and struggling with financial insecurity. Stories of students donating plasma just to afford groceries and begging for assistance in group chats were all too common. As fellow students, we understood these challenges firsthand and knew there had to be a better solution.

We launched a simple web app to see if our idea could make a difference. The response was overwhelming. Students began using Shelp, and many became repeat customers. We've heard from Shelpers who now enjoy more disposable income and flexible schedules, allowing them to focus on academics without the burden of a part-time job. They can now monetize their skills on their own terms.

Requesters have found quick, effective, and safe help through our platform, creating a support network that simply didn't exist before. Shelp has become a lifeline for many, easing the transition to college life and providing peace of mind for both students and their parents.

Our mission remains steadfast: to bridge the gap between financial insecurity and the lack of support networks on college campuses. With Shelp, students have the support they need to thrive.
