Neighbourhood mutual aid, grounded in real life

Turn the place you live into a place you belong.

Family In My Backyard (FIMBY) is a shared space for the people on your street — to ask for help, offer what you have, and stay connected in small everyday ways. Not a city-wide feed. Just the people around you.

THANK YOU

Kids were home sick all week, and Huy offered to watch them for a couple hours so I could run errands. I almost cried in the grocery store. Thank you, Huy.

We’re more connected than ever. So why do so many people still feel alone?

Not another marketplace.
Not another feed.

FIMBY is built for neighbours, not audiences. Shared life, not online performance.

Designed to stay local

FIMBY keeps things close to home. You’ll see the same neighbours, not thousands of strangers. Over time, names become familiar, and small acts of care start to build real relationships.

Start where you are

If this neighbourhood is part of your real life, you’re welcome here. FIMBY is a small, practical attempt to widen the circle of family — grounded in real life and real place.
