In a year of historic flooding across the Carolinas many residents went from draught to disaster in a matter of weeks. Surrounding areas watched their neighbors in nearby areas suffered historic storm damage to their towns, roads and even homes and many searched for ways to help. Luckily there are organizations like the American Red Cross that quickly move to action to supply relief in disasters big and small. Thumbvista based in Charlotte, North Carolina had the great opportunity to work along side the American Red Cross to help gather mobile donations from geofencing large areas in North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia for mobile users looking to help through mobile donations.
