What Is the Help List?
The CUFF HERO Help List is a weekly email that list members who need bail-funding assistance in order to get released from jail while they await trial.
Members receive the Help List on Monday morning and can vote on the requests included that week.
How the Weekly Schedule Works
The weekly bail-assistance list is emailed to members.
Voting closes at 11:00 p.m. that same Monday night.
Emails are sent which list five individuals approved for group fund assistance, along with links for members who did not receive group funding but still require help raising bail.
How Funding Works
Up to five selected members may receive assistance from the actual CUFF HERO member fund. Funding depends on the amount of money available in the fund, so assistance is not guaranteed.
Other selected members’ requests may be included in the Tuesday results email so individual CUFF HERO members can choose whether to donate directly to those separate requests.
Individual donations are optional. Members may choose to contribute to an individual request using the links in Tuesday’s results email. Receiving the email or voting does not require anyone to donate.
This page explains the Help List process. The weekly list, voting instructions, and results are sent to members by email; this page does not collect votes or donations.
