A User can publish a particular Need via a written post on the Bless Services or News Feed, posting an essay, video, picture, or other type of testimonial explaining their situation. Once a User publishes a Need on the Bless Services, fellow Users can respond and offer Support to meet or help meet the Need, vouch for or otherwise validate the User in Need to the Bless User community, or simply show support by publicly responding to the Need post or privately chatting with the User in Need.
