I would love to have volunteer helpers of any sort, but I'm afraid. Should there be an accident, even with liability insurance, they will come back with lawyers for even more money, not even signing a waiver saved them. Know that for a fact, they lost everything but the roof over their heads.

For those who do allow visitors, volunteers and intern I would be very interested in how you do it without the threat of losing your lifesaving and home in case there is an accident.
