The goal of the site is to enable Boston’s church community to connect with and offer help to victims. The site enables people to post availability of housing, meal delivery and other needs. One professional counselor has already offered to donate free trauma counseling.
Andrew Sears, Executive Director of TechMission, explained his motivation for setting up the site: “As a father of two young boys, I went to bed crying last night about the pain the Richard family and others must be feeling. In the morning I cried again as I was reminded of the parable of the Good Samaritan helping someone who had been beaten up and left for dead, and I thought ‘That is what Christians should be doing right now.’ So within a few hours, we had a website up and partnerships with church networks across Boston to help the victims.”
