Hi,
Our website at www.setxhelp.org is designed to allow evacuee families and Southeast Texan families to connect for the purpose of helping the evacuees get back on their feet.
Evacuees can post their specific needs, from jobs to personal items and everything in between. They can search for offers of help from Southeast Texans and make contact with them.
Southeast Texans can post what they can offer evacuees as well, and search evacuee requests to help those who have already posted.
Please add a link to your site to our website, "Southeast Texas Hurricane Relief - SETXHelp.org"
Thank you,
Janet Bray
