getavision search for entries containing:

Yes.

  1. We don’t give medical help, except giving rides to appointments and translating during appointments.
  2. We are not able to provide ongoing services such as giving you a ride to work every day or cleaning your house every week.
  3. The farther away from the local getavision timeXchange is to where you live, the more challenging it is to find members who can get to your house because of distance, time and reliable transportation.
  4. Last minute requests are difficult to meet; requests should be made as far in advance as possible to respect the busy lives and schedules of members.
  5. Some requests cannot be met if members do not offer that service, such as electrical work, roofing, etc.  We are always looking for new members who have these skills! If you know someone who could help out from time to time, please tell him or her about the getavision timeXchange.
  6. Huge projects will be broken down into smaller jobs. For example, if you need several hours of work done, it might take several members one or two hours each, and we cannot promise that the entire project will get done in a short period of time.  An illustration is helping you to move: some members can help pack boxes before moving day, others can lift and carry boxes on moving day, someone else could help to clean the old place or the new place, etc.
