I hope this message finds you well.

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

Volunteer work is humanitarian work
October 17, 2024
Previous review

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.

Volunteering Make Up Life
October 10, 2024

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.

100% scam
October 4, 2024

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/

Scam
June 21, 2024

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.

Bogus business
November 2, 2023

This is a follow up to my 10/6/22 review. There is a response by Elders of the issue has been resolved. The issue is not resolved. I asked for the corporate office address so I could look up Elders on the better business bureau website. Elders did not contact me with this info so I don't know how they can respond to my post the issue has been satisfactory resolved. This further questions the credibility of this business 10/25/23.

After providing the "donation", I contacted six numbers. One was non-working, two others answered as the same NAME, but were definitely not the people listed as volunteer. Three others never returned calls.
There is NO PHONE number for ElderHelpers to speak with someone. I Sent an email to which I got an automated, "we'll respond in 2 business days" and a week has gone with no reply but daily marketing emails. In theory, this is a fantastic idea but my conclusion is it's either fraudulent or horrifically managed.
