Posted April 3, 2020 (edited) I know a lot of folks are struggling during this health crisis not just provider's, but because this is an escort board, this is the focus of my post. If it's a lady you haven't met and been wanting to see, get prescreened and give a deposit for a future appt. If you're a regular, offer to prepay an appointment for AFTER the country gets a handle on what's really going on. If you're her regular, she's worth it. Pay for a provider's video content. Many have switched to digital fun under the circumstances, Skype, Only Fans, Snapchat etc. If you have extra essential items that you can spare, meet up or drop them off. Share Send gifts via cash app/venmo/amazon pay etc. 25, 50, 100 Email gift cards. Walmart, King Soopers, Gas cards, Visa. Ask her what she needs. If she has an amazon wishlist, look for essential items she has on there, and get those. I know when I shop on my provider friend's wishlists, I try to pick out something they want and something they need. For instance for a birthday, I bought my friend a pair of ear buds on her list that she wanted and a bag of dog food for her pups that she needed. If you are not sure how to help, reach out to any of the providers here that you know, who put their boots on the ground to help out the other providers, and ask what you can do to help. We have so many of these ladies, and most of you know who they are. Also, some ladies can afford to help too. For example, I can't afford to help a lot, but I can afford to help a little if there is an emergency situation or for essential item's. $10-$25. It's not a lot, but we have a lot of ladies in need, and my income has changed drastically as well. I also can help with rides to the grocery store, pharmacy, dr appts etc. A couple of friends have offered to help me with gas for this specifically, and another friend gave me some masks and gloves for safety while driving and delivering. Thank you beautiful people. You know who you are. Thank you to ALL the Helpers in our community. We have so many. 😊 Also, those incredible specials some the ladies are offering right now to survive...wouldn't it be the most amazing gift to the lady, and to mankind if the gents would make those for prepaid dates. Just a thought... I'm sure I'm missing other ways to help. If you can think of anything feel free to add. Add anything positive really. A smile and a laugh is helpful too. If you are in a tough spot yourself, as many people around the world are and can't help financially, just know we understand, love and care about you. Hugs to all of you and please be safe. I want us all to make it to the other side of this. 🤗🤗🤗 Edited April 3, 2020 by Hunter VanDyke 15 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 3, 2020 "Prepay" rarely ends well. There should be interest attached to the prepay. After all, it's kind of like a payday loan. So, prepay an hour now, get two hours when services are rendered. Plus, services must be rendered by...date, or the payment is back due in full. Put everything in writing. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Prepaids and deposits can be risky, so research is of VITAL importantance as you don't see a lot of these disputes settled in small claims courts. 😋 However with the right screening, there are many ladies with integrity that don't steal from their clients. Not a fan of prepaids? That is why I listed several alternative options for helping. ❤ Now, loans with interest? Are you offering? Low rates maybe?

Posted April 3, 2020 Actually putting things in writing is a good idea. I have a written ‘contract’ for my traveling companions. It spells out responsibilities & expectations for both parties. This eliminates confusion for both of us. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 3, 2020 I happen to think that the vast majority of the providers on this site would not keep a pre payed donation. That would not be helpful to their reputation moving forward. There is a element of trust that both parties share here. I like the idea of adding some time when the visit does happen. Now go wash your hands. Ha! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted April 3, 2020 What a bunch a BS! You broads, for years, have been professing, with great zeal, that this is a business, a transaction. Clients shouldn't expect any extras, regardless of any surrounding circumstances that may have put the client in a certain funk, So shut up and moan, then say, "Thank you, very much!"

Posted April 5, 2020 Thank you Hunter! I am sure that a lot of ladies are in situation similar to one of my favorites. Her part time job is gone. The income generated by "other" sources has all but disappeared. She has little ones that are now home 24/7. In times such as these it is so easy to sometimes feel isolated, alone, over whelmed. A call to her or a text asking, "how are you" can make a difference. A surprise delivery of their favorite pizza can bring smiles and giggles. Running a few errands for her, a shopping trip for her will make a huge difference. I know not all of us can prepay for future appointments. I am pleased to read that those of us who are fortunate enough to be able to prepay have done so. Not surprised by that. Some quality people here. I have done that. But we don't need to spend large amounts of money to make a difference. A thoughtful gift, reaching out to assist in any way will make her life easier. Have a great day everybody! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted April 7, 2020 I hate to say this, but giving anyone money in advance, almost never turns out good for the one who gives the loan. I have helped a number of people. Some were good friends, up until that point. They have as many excuses as the stars, to never keep their word to settle up. They have money for everything else but you. Some were just friends, some dancers and one a provider. So my loan dept. has been shut down for a bit. I just had one dancer today asking for help. I told her she could come to work for me ,till she made what she needed. A real job but she never called back. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No one is required to provide help to anyone, and this post is to give alternative ways to help providers in need. I don't know if you are giving an example, or if you are offering to give providers some work? Certainly there are providers who are currently looking for work. So I appreciate your addition. If that's the case. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Suddenly, in these terrible times, we are all "community"...helping...giving....doing our best to carry the providers back to business as usual. Yet many providers are continuing business as usual. Strangely, I have not heard one word about said providers "taking care of" their former loyal regulars who are now suddenly out of work. I know...I know..."that's different".

Pardon my post......just killing time with the loss of 90% of my income....better than many! I lost 90 percent of my income too, but I choose to spend my time finding ways to help others even while dealing with my own uncertainty. And that's helping other parts of my community as well, not just providers. Family, friends, friends of friends. Because this is an escort board, and I happen to be a provider, putting the focus on helping providers here and other groups, I feel I will have a much bigger impact. I don't think many are too concerned about SWs, generally speaking anyway, so I'm not suprised at all by some of the comments here. It's expected. I do know that there are many angels who will read this, and understand it for what is, and help, and that's my target audience. You can just as easily start a thread for ways to help clients like yourself, just as I did, and list some ways you're willing to help them out, just like I did, but instead you decide to hop on this one, and give it some tactful negativity. 🙄 If there is one thing my clients know about me, its that if they need help, and I can help, I WILL help. They know this because they call on me for help from time to time, and I'm there for them. They know me well enough to know that anything I said in my OP regarding how I personally can help other providers, that even if they asked, I'd do the exact same for them. I would definitely do my part to help my clients and advocate for them as well if needed. 💙 Edited April 7, 2020 by Hunter VanDyke 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 7, 2020 The collection plate is passed around here more often than at a Pentecostal church service. Strangely, it never seems to stop at the hobbyists. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A real job but she never called back. Exactly, you offer folks an honest paycheck for an honest day's work, and you never hear back from them. But sure, send them money, buy their used panties, or send them stuff from their Amazon wish list, and while you're at it, throw in a couple of gift cards. Here's a suggestion: lets make a list of real jobs that providers (and hobbyists) can apply to right now: I'll start: Amazon is hiring. Is your resumé up to date? Food delivery, shelving, general delivery - start applying. I talked to a friend of mine the other day who has two engineering degrees. Was working for a start up. Lost his job. Boom, the next day he's doing delivery for Amazon. Don't ask for handouts, start handing out your resumé! Edited April 7, 2020 by 2Big 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 7, 2020 Nicely worded Hunter, but some of the girls rates here, I could never afford even before I lost half my income.

Because I always plan ahead, I can hold my own on 10% of my income for quite awhile, just no extra money for anything discretionary. That is anything discretionary, big or small, ladies, take out, etc.. As for the highlighted part of your post, I was not shooting for negativity, tactful or otherwise, just pointing out an obvious, albeit unpopular truth. As for starting my own thread with the idea of suggesting the ladies "help the guys out" ( i.e. freebies), such futile and preposterous idea never crossed my mind. Thinking about it now that you suggested it has me laughing ...laughing because I am imagining the all out shit-storm should any guy post such a thing. I bet a new record could be set for negative reps. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thankfully, there are more affordable options for us less affluent fellows right here in Denver.
