Hobo Helpers: help in Second Life


For an extensive list of helper groups is SL, with information and locations, see
Destination guide > Help and How To
I am available to meet you in SL much of the time. If you want to set up a meeting send me an IM and suggest a time. I am on central time, US, and get IMs in email, so I will usually get your message quickly in my daytime hours.

I will generally be able to schedule at least a brief meeting on the same day or the next.
