Hey everyone! Ali and Chris here. We’ve been living away from our families and supporting them remotely for over 16 years.

We are really excited to be launching Jhappi.Day (http://Jhappi.Day) - a subscription service for NRIs, overseas Pakistanis, and Bangladeshis to take care of their family back home.

We started Jhappi.Day because:

- It’s hard to support your parents while you’re far away: If they get sick, it’s hard to arrange the right appointments - and even harder to know the full outcome. If we were there, we’d help with running errands, but we can’t do that from abroad.

- It's hard to make sure that your family is not getting ripped off: Are they getting the best services for their money? Are they using the best discounts and deals available online?

- It's hard to transparently track if all relatives are contributing fairly to family finances: It becomes hard to have a single source of truth and nudge relatives or siblings when financial responsibility is not being equally shared.

The solution is a long distance family management service that gives you:

- Complete health tracking: A monthly visit from a Medical Doctor with detailed reports shared directly with you.

- 24/7 reliable errand support & tracking with best deals: Round-the-clock on-call support to help your family with any errands, including weekly grocery shopping and much more.

- Coordination of financial contributions: A simple dashboard to track all contributions and get a clear breakdown of all family expenses.

We are offering:

- Everybody who signs up today gets 1 month completely free.

- The first 250 people to book a call will be entered into a prize draw for a free return flight to a South Asian city of their choice.

We also launched today on Product Hunt: https://www.producthunt.com/posts/jhappi-day-long-distance-s...

Would love to hear any thoughts and feedback on the product.
