Can we do something for them for our Gupshup Platform?
What Gupshup opens a bank account where every member voluntary donates some money , I say a fiver or tener a month wouldn’t cause a harm to any of us and this money could be further used in helping our natives back in Pakistan .
We have some very good and honest personalities, who are here for long and people do trust them . Let say Ehsan bahi , Fraudia bahi , Tariq bahi and others , they must know genuine families or people back in Pakistan who even in need never ask for help .
When I had my own forum, we used to do it but on a very small scale hence from here it could be done on a large spectrum.
Its just a random thought , don’t know if its appropriate and feasible to others !
