(10,885 posts)72. So am I - trying to help you.
By posting your number on a public forum, you open yourself up to receive myriads of unwanted calls from wherever, whenever. Do you know how many hundreds of others also need help and would love to respond to an offer such as yours? Are you prepared for that? Do you want to take the risk?
My suggestion:
1) Go into your post and edit to remove your number.
2) Send your offer to help and your phone number to the OP via DU mail. They will still get the info, and you will remain private to the rest of the internet.
Please, at least, give it some thought.
ETA: To use the DU Mail feature, click on "My Inbox" at top right. Enter name for recipient, in this case "Luz", and type/send your message.
