How do you choose who to help?
Through the 52 Lives network, we hear about an awful lot of people in need of help. So we have to keep things very simple. Jaime reads through the requests each week and decides which life to help. That's all there is to it. We take it week by week. It's not fun having to say no to the people who we can't help. But we hope the 1 life we can change each week makes up for it! There's more information in our Terms of Use.
Do you make money out of 52 Lives?
No. 52 Lives is run on a completely voluntary basis. We do it for the love!
If you have any more questions about 52 Lives, please feel free to contact us.
A lot of your requests seem to come from Australia and the UK. Do you take nominations from other countries?
Yes! 52 Lives is global (we just happen to know a lot of people in those two countries so it's where most of our supporters came from initially).
Why 52 lives - why not more?
We thought about doing 365 but it seemed ambitious!

Are you a charity?
​
No, we have so far decided not to become a registered charity, as it may limit what we are able to do and who we choose to help. We are just a website that tries to find help for people and spread some kindness.
