Who can use Kindred?
Kindred isn't limited to the United States. Anyone 18 or older can ask for help or give, from anywhere in the world — the only country restriction is on receiving payouts.
Asking for help
Anyone 18 or older can post a request from any country. Posting is free and your location is optional. Posting anonymously needs a quick identity verification.
Giving
Donors can give from anywhere in the world with a card, PayPal, or Link. Donations are charged in US dollars, with a $5 minimum.
Receiving money
To collect donations you connect a Stripe account. Payouts are available in 39 countries — the US, Canada, the UK, most of Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Singapore, Hong Kong, Mexico, and Brazil. Outside those, you can still post, share, and receive item requests.
