Helping Hurricane
Victims: There’s an App
for That
by Nicholas Freiling
While
we can tip our Uber drivers directly and in real-time, we send aid to
hurricane victims through massive, archaic organizations—thousands of
employees, some paid millions annually, who all sit together in a
neighborhood of limestone buildings just north of Capitol Hill.
“When
Harvey was impending, the vultures started circling,” Glyer said. “NGOs,
federal agencies and big box charities like Red Cross descended on Houston
while asking for dollar after dollar from people who wanted to help—most of
whom will never know what good their dollars accomplished.”
