## What is The Wish Tree?

The Wish Tree helps people give, sell, or exchange useful items locally.

Instead of letting good things go to waste, you can list them for free, set a price, or swap them with someone nearby. You can also create wishes for items you need and discover local matches.

Why we started
We built The Wish Tree so useful items stay in circulation and reach the people who need them most. After school exams, for example, textbooks, bags, and study material are often left unused even though other students can benefit from them. The same is true for household items, electronics, furniture, toys, and more. Listing these items helps families save money and reduces waste.

What you can do
- List items as Free, Paid, or Exchange
- Add wishes for things you are looking for
- Chat directly with owners
- Discover nearby listings
- Receive notifications for matches, messages, and updates
- Complete trusted local exchanges with admin-reviewed listings

For paid listings, The Wish Tree applies a platform commission and supports monitored payout handling. Listings are reviewed before they go live to keep the marketplace safer and more reliable.

Whether you want to declutter, help someone nearby, or find something useful without buying new, The Wish Tree helps local communities share better.
