Hello,My name is Jay Johnson. I am a 28 year old web developer and CEO of Hit Catcher, Inc. My development team and I created a web site to help those good samaritans looking to house refugees in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. It's a free service that allows refugees to search for homes and for home owners to list available space in their homes.
After hearing folks call into radio and TV stations asking how they could best volunteer their homes we developed a project plan and started development. The end result is a not-for-profit project developed off hours by the Hit Catcher staff and myself. It is our small way of helping in this great tragedy. A lot of folks are using different systems and web sites to alert refugees to available homes. We thought it would be a great service to create a one-stop (free) shop for both owners and refugees.
The website is MyFamilyCanHelp.com. We could use your help in alerting people to its use. It is a completely automated system that we believe can help in the largest problem facing FEMA - Long term housing.
Please take a moment to look at the website: http://www.myfamilycanhelp.com/
If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me directly. We are dedicated to helping the victims of this great tragedy and welcome any questions or comments from people so close to the devastation.
Sincerely,
Jay Johnson
Huge thanks go to Chris Bloom and Todd Bloom. Coding machines up until 3 am last night trying to finish this off.
