As an entrepreneur, we don't often ask for help, but Local Relief...baby, it's a big one. This app has the potential to lead disaster victims to the critical information and resources they need when their community is in chaos. When all hope is lost, they can login to Local Relief and find useful information posted by other community members, local government, and nonprofit organizations in the same area. It's truly THE disaster hub. I could use some help on this. 1. Funding (and introductions to funding). Again, we're a 501c3 nonprofit. 2. Introductions to business owners that want to help disaster communities (when they donate, their business is showcased in the app). I can't begin to tell you how much this is appreciated. #entrepreneur #localrelief #heartfordisaster #emergencymanagers #hurricane #501c3
