Problems could be medical or non-medical. But when it's a medical emergency then we hardly get any solution. Sometimes spending money also, can't buy a bottle of blood.

There is not a single social media platform that is currently addressing this issue.

Hence, we launched “Help The Universe”. This is a community-building social networking platform that will give access to your nearby like-minded people and get help from them.

There are two ways users can use our application:

Community Forum: This forum is basically to create or follow a particular community. Inside the community forum, upon selecting a specific community, the interface will now present two distinct sections:
1. Community Engagements: Here, users are free to engage in a wide range of community-related activities.
Reflecting the dynamics of real-world communities, these activities mirror our day-to-day interactions: a. Community Discussion, Community Celebrations, Social Gatherings Support etc.
These diverse activities are presented as topics, enabling users to initiate discussions across different tabs, each aligned with a specific theme. Notably, this unique feature sets us apart from other social platforms

A community also means users can ask for help from a community. Now there are two ways to avail of this particular feature.

a. User can create their own community and ask for help in that community itself

2. HELP Button: A dedicated space intended for seeking community-driven assistance or help on a variety of matters.

How to use this feature:

Open Forum: This feature is primarily tailored to provide rapid assistance from nearby users, without the need to establish or join any specific community. The system employs your location data to create a virtual circle (which is why we've made location information mandatory during sign-up). Initially, this circle has a default radius of 150 kilometres,
