Practical answers, trusted contacts, and people who get it.
You are not the first person to face this.
Built with and for the spinal cord injury and wider disability community in India, and the families caring alongside them. The practical answers are here, and so are the people who truly understand.
Started by one of us
Sahaay was started by Dhairya Goyal, who lived these challenges first hand and built the resource he wished he'd had. He leads Sahaay and wants to help build the community.
Whoever you are, you belong here
Sahaay is for everyone touched by spinal cord injury and disability, not just one kind of person.
- Living with an injury or disability
- A family member or caregiver
- Newly injured, finding your feet
- A professional, volunteer or ally
Everything in one place
No more digging through endless WhatsApp groups. Answers, contacts, places and people, organised and kept trustworthy.
Community feed
Ask a question or share a tip - bladder and bowel routines, skin care, transfers, equipment, paperwork. A shared, searchable knowledge base built by people who live it.
Directory
Contact listings for doctors, specialists, coaches, consultants and suppliers.
Marketplace
Equipment members are selling, giving away, or looking for.
Accessible places
Hospitals, malls, theatres and transit with honest notes on what is actually accessible - including what the signage gets wrong.
Mentors
Matched on shared experience - similar injury level, or the same stage of life. Newly injured, returning to work, back into sport.
Attendants
Find an attendant, or post that you are available for work.
Meets & events
Community meet-ups, adaptive sports sessions, support circles and awareness drives.
Not built from the outside
Sahaay comes from within the community - real questions, real contacts, and people who have actually lived this. Everything here is shared by members and kept trustworthy by people who care, not pulled from a database somewhere.
Built by the community, with the community, not from the outside.
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.
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.
Start where it hurts most
Whatever you are stuck on right now, someone here has been stuck on it too.
