About Simply Help
Our Story
Why we built a simpler way to get local help.
From the founder
My name is Chase Walters, and I created Simply Help for one reason: to connect people who need a hand with everyday tasks and small jobs to the neighbors in their community who are ready to help.
Too many people have no one to call when something needs doing. Simply Help changes that. This business is built on trust, courtesy, and generosity — the belief that no one should ever be left alone to get things done when there are so many good people nearby willing to lend a hand.
Post a task, name your price, and a verified neighbor claims it. Simple as that. Because helping each other shouldn't be complicated.
— Chase Walters, Founder
Where it started.
Simply Help started with a frustration most people in a neighborhood recognize. You need a hand with something simple — moving a piece of furniture, cleaning up the yard before guests arrive, hanging a few shelves — and the easiest path is to post in a Facebook group and wait. You wait for comments. You wait for DMs. You get three quotes, two no-shows, and one person who asks if you can Venmo them first. That's not help. That's a second job.
The idea.
The people willing to help are already nearby. They're in your neighborhood, your street, your community. They just don't have a clean way to connect with the people who need them. Simply Help is built to close that gap — a focused local board where customers post a task with a price, and the first available neighbor steps up and gets it done. No bidding. No back-and-forth. No group-chat noise.
How we're different.
Most platforms are built for contractors, freelancers, or professionals with business licenses. Simply Help is built for real neighbors doing real tasks. You set the price. A verified local accepts. Payment stays protected until you approve the work. The whole thing is designed to feel less like hiring and more like asking a capable neighbor for a hand — except with accountability built in.
Where we're going.
We're starting small on purpose. Pinellas County, Florida is where we're launching first — dense enough to build real density, local enough to get feedback fast. When a place works, we expand to the next one. The goal isn't to be everywhere at once. It's to be genuinely useful somewhere first, and grow from there.
