Short & Sweet

What exactly is Trabbu?
Pretty simple: Trabbu is a crowdfunding site that's geared towards family + friends helping out each other with getting just about any need.

What happens when the target amount is not reached?
Bad news first: The person will be short of their goal, ultimately preventing them from getting what they wanted. Good news: The donors get their dough back.

What does "Anything helps!" mean? (important)
An "Anything helps!" campaign means that this person has already or will for-sure be spending their own money on the expense. Your donation would help them get back what they've already spent - They're already out-of-pocket. In this case, your donation does not refund if the target amount is not reached. This type of campaign is open-ended

Do the campaigns expire?
Indeed. They all expire on 5pm on the day of expiration - This date can be found just below "That leaves" section on the user's page.

How much does this cost?
This costs the person pitching in nothing! But the person with the campaign will have to cover Paypal fees, which come out to about 3.5% on average.

Eric's Story

I've got good people here in Toronto, some of whom I've even known for years. But the vast majority of the people who are important to me are in and around San Jose. While I've planned out all of my school expenses, it's just not in the cards for me to make it back home for the holidays completely under my own steam. As it stands, I'll have to choose between getting home for the holidays or being able to afford my books, transportation (metro passes), and food for the next semester.

How does this all work?

Here is someone that is in need of something, and wishes they could afford it.

They create a Trabbu page, which explains what they need, when, how much it would cost, and their story behind it.

Next they share their Trabbu page with their friends and family via Facebook, Twitter, Google+, IM, email, and word of mouth.

The family and friends see someone they know (and care dearly for) in need and pitch in however much they want in order to help out.

Once the amount is met, the money gets transferred to their bank account. Thanks to family & friends, that need is now a reality!
