About this user
'Help the Gulf People' was the vision of 'Ashiya Austin' who started the Facebook Group
'Connecting People Who Want to Leave the Gulf with People Who Want to Help' on June 25, 2010.
It was evident on July 1, 2010 that a Facebook Group was not going to be the appropriate format for the task at hand.
On July 2, 2010 after a generous offer from another Facebook member who laid the bare bones to build upon they had the beginnings of a website.
At this point 'LouAnn Edwards' began the task of formatting the site to meet the needs of those who may be Seeking or Offering help to people in the Gulf area who have been affected by the Oil Spill.
On July 6, 2010 'Help the Gulf People' went public.
It is the vision of both Ashiya and LouAnn that those that are able to offer help to people in the Gulf area will reach out through 'Help the Gulf People.' And those whose lives have been turned upside down by the Oil Spill will find a helping hand through the site.
