FLAT AND FLATMATES SOS COMMUNITY
BECOME A VOLUNTEER –
WHAT CAN YOU HELP WITH?
Imagine yourself stranded on road with no idea where to go. Imagining is hard. Reality even harder. So you can adjust, accommodate someone for a night or two, let them keep their luggage at your place for that period. Not everybody has the money to instantly book an OYO room especially moving so much luggage room to room every night.
We have all been there, done that. If you have a rent agreement & your landlord has refused to give you the deposit back on flimsy grounds even after you did your due repairs, then that is really a tough situation to deal with. As a volunteer, you can go with them to talk to their owner as a group of 3 to 4 people to represent that the tenant, the bachelor, the victim, is not alone. He has friends. He has family.
On our Ahmedabad group, we have seen & tried to help in cases of intimidation, violence & other forms of offences. A situation, if it calls for help, then please stop putting in sympathizing comments. Instead, put in help. Use contacts. Contact the victim directly. It hurts to see that the admin has to deal with an entire case. And members just commenting. Don’t do that. Why can’t you people help instead? Is it too much work these days?
