One link when someone you love needs help — donations, meals, legal, and more
Funeral costs, legal fees, a sudden crisis — not another scattered group chat of payment screenshots.
When a friend or family member is going through a hard time, people want to help but the links pile up fast — a campaign page, Venmo handle, meal sign-up, attorney referral, and a dozen "let me know what you need" texts. Publish one compassionate Lyst with sections for each way to help. Cousins and coworkers add links and offers without an account.

The problem
Sound familiar? These are the pain points people search for before they find a better way.
- Donation links, meal trains, and attorney contacts live in five different chats
- People ask "how can I help?" and the answer gets lost in replies
- The person grieving shouldn't be re-sending Venmo screenshots all week
- New payment methods and funeral updates don't reach everyone who already shared the old link
What you get
Every way to help
Donate, funeral, legal, meals, share — sections you can rename for whatever the family needs.
Links & offers
Campaign pages and payment apps sit next to "I can pick up the kids Tuesday" notes.
Circle contributes
Cousins and coworkers paste links and sign up to help — no ReferLyst account required.
Private by default
Unlisted Lysts only open for people with the link — not indexed in public search.

Frequently asked questions
- Is this only for funeral fundraisers?
- No. Use it for any stressful stretch — medical bills, legal fees, eviction defense, disaster recovery, or a sudden job loss. Rename sections to match what people actually need.
- Can I put multiple payment methods on one page?
- Yes. Campaign pages, Venmo, Zelle, Cash App, and gift cards can all live in the Donate section — one link instead of five screenshots.
- Do helpers need accounts?
- No. Anyone with the link can add a meal sign-up, attorney referral, or "I can mow the lawn Saturday" note.
- Will this show up in Google?
- Unlisted Lysts are only for people you share the link with — they don't appear in Discover or public search.
- How is this different from a single donation page?
- A donation page handles money. ReferLyst holds donations plus funeral details, legal contacts, meal trains, and concrete offers of help — everything the community needs on one organized link.
