Arabic term or phrase: قضاء حوائج الناس
Looking for the appropriate English term to this phrase which means helping people with their duties: tasks or needs, like if someone e recommendation, to buy something, to visit adoctor, to prepare a cv. The idea is that the meaning of the word حاجة او حوائجin Arabic is very broad, the phrase actually means to help people with whatever they need help with.
