What Lifeline US does
This website is an introduction service. It does not collect money, hold goods, issue tax receipts, or become part of a purchase.
- You decide what information to submit.
- A supporter independently decides whether to purchase anything.
- Amazon.ca processes payment and delivery.
- Either person can decline or end contact.
Need urgent or professional assistance?
Lifeline US is not an emergency, government, health, housing, or social-service program. If you are in immediate danger, call 911. For community and social-service referrals in most of Canada, call or visit 211.
