Good help should not be hard to find. I kept coming back to that belief. GoodHelp grew out of loss, and the need I saw up close.

I am Mike, the founder of GoodHelp. I have lived in the Snoqualmie Valley for more than 25 years and raised my family here. GoodHelp began when I started supporting my newly widowed mother-in-law and realized how many seniors and widows face the same challenge, a home to-do list that suddenly feels impossible to manage alone.

As she said, “He did so much. I didn’t know where to turn.”

What weighed on her was not the big projects. It was the everyday tasks her partner handled for years, the small things that keep a home running and life feeling steady. When those tasks piled up, stress followed. Our family wanted to help, but distance and busy schedules made it hard to be there when she needed us.

That experience made one thing clear - who you invite into your home matters. Skill helps, but patience, empathy, and respect matter just as much, especially during a tender season.

We created a simple system. She kept a running list of tasks, big and small. When it reached a certain point, I would come over, we would work through it together, and she could breathe again. The pressure lifted because someone showed up, listened, and followed through.

That is where GoodHelp came from.

GoodHelp supports seniors, widows, and busy families who feel stuck and do not know where to turn. We focus on the everyday list, the tasks that add up and never fully disappear.

Our goal is to show up with steady, thoughtful care, bring order back into the home, and help restore comfort and control during times of change. I approach each visit the way I approached helping my mother-in-law, with patience, respect, and genuine care.

Good help should feel human and reassuring. Good help should not be hard to find.
