Ask for personal help if needed
You choose whether to send the plan securely to Alohamation for follow-up.
Alohamation coordinates requests. It is not emergency response, medical care, legal advice, or a guarantee of a provider’s work.
Planned provider checks
Clear checks. No vague badges.
No provider profiles are published yet. If a provider is approved later, each public check should say exactly what was confirmed and when.
ID on file
This label would appear only after a dated ID review. It would not mean a background check.
Phone verified
This label would appear only after the number is confirmed, not when someone applies.
License checked
For work that needs a license, a dated check would be recorded before any license claim appears.
Insurance if supplied
Coverage would be described only after current proof is reviewed; a customer should confirm the scope.
Future profile format
Check completed · Date confirmed · What was checked · No rating until real work is completed
Never a vague "vetted" badge. Every check has a date — and a refresh, not permanent wording.
After you send a request
No runaround. No ghosting.
Here is exactly what happens once your request is in — including what happens if no provider is available.
- 1
A person reviews the request
During the pilot, Alohamation reviews submitted requests before contacting any provider.
- 2
Scope comes before outreach
We clarify the outcome, timing, access, and safety boundaries before deciding whether provider outreach makes sense.
- 3
Availability is confirmed honestly
A request does not guarantee a provider, price, response time, or completed job. We confirm what is actually available before anyone commits.
- 4
The pilot records unmet needs
Unfilled requests help identify which services and Hawaiʻi communities need more provider recruitment.
You pay the provider directly
Alohamation never holds your money. You agree on scope and price with the provider, and you pay them — no middleman, no escrow.
Provider accountability is human-reviewed
During the pilot, Alohamation records response problems and no-shows for manual review. Automated ranking and listing pauses are not active.
Free classifieds · Opening after the service pilot
Hawaiʻi classifieds, without the Facebook friction.
Basic listings will be free: a simple local board to buy, sell, and request useful things—with a clear handoff instead of endless comments and messages.
A clear listing and next step
What it is, where it is, and how to respond—without a noisy social feed.
Pickup and paperwork support
Simple reminders and an activity record. Alohamation does not hold money or provide legal advice.
