Thanks for being a volunteer. For me as a blind person, there still is that sense that I'm bothering someone when I ask for human assistance. I realize that this is not really rational, given how much people seem to appreciate the opportunity to help, but it takes some effort to overcome this in my own brain regardless.

Both my ans my wife volunteer and both have taken calls. I suspect you can really brighten someone's day by asking for help :) Go at it !
I wanted to let you know that I _race_ to answer a call as quickly as possible. If I didn't want to be called I never would have installed the app in the first place.
