Actress
Kheya Chattopadhyay has been volunteering to help COVID-affected
families
in this hour of crisis. From finding hospital beds, medicines to oxygen cylinders,
Kheya
is doing everything in her capacity to support them. “I am just trying to do as much as I can, but it is nothing compared to the selfless volunteers, who are working 24x7 on the ground to help COVID-19 patients and their families. Whenever I find any lead on social media on the availability of hospital beds,
oxygen cylinders
etc, I first try to find out whether it is a fake number or not. Only after verifying, I share the number on social media or to the patient party. I am just trying to connect with people in need and I feel that is the least someone can do in these difficult times. It feels great when a family member of the patient calls me to inform that he/she has recovered. We are also trying to work on an app with a friend where all information regarding medical facilities will be available but we are yet to figure out how to go about it legally,” said the actress, adding, “The condition here is grim and we are bound to get scared. So, it is advisable not to venture out unnecessarily and wearing a
mask
is mandatory to save lives.”
