How it works
Search before you ask
Most practical questions have been asked before. Search first - the answer is often already there, written by someone who tried it.
Ask the community
Nothing there? Ask. Include your injury level, how long it has been, and what you have already tried.
Find people and places
Vetted contacts for repairs and supplies, honest accessibility notes, and mentors who have been where you are.

What's here
Q&A knowledge base
Bladder and bowel routines, skin care, transfers, equipment, paperwork. Answered by people who live it, organised so you can find it again.
Directory
Vetted doctors, specialists, coaches, consultants and suppliers. Reviewed before publication, contact details only - Sahaay is not involved in any arrangement you make.
Marketplace
Equipment members are selling, giving away, or looking for. Sahaay never handles money - you contact each other directly.
Accessible places
Hospitals, malls, theatres and transit with honest notes on what is actually accessible - including what the signage gets wrong.
Peer mentors
Matched on shared experience - similar injury level, or the same stage of life. Newly injured, returning to work, back into sport.
Attendants
Connect with attendants. Post that you are available for work, or that you are looking for someone. Sahaay does not employ or vet anyone - you arrange and pay directly.
Meets & events
Community meet-ups, adaptive sports sessions, support circles and awareness drives.

How this works
Free for the people it is meant to help, and it will stay that way.
Directory and place submissions are reviewed by a person before they go live.
Condition details are optional, self-reported context - never a verification step.
The marketplace is listings and contact details only. Any transaction happens between you and the other person.
