Ideas? Do we build something around the Gofundme platform or work with Red Cross, UnitedWay NWT etc. Ghose charities focus on service delivery, much needed but not providing direct financial support. Ideally it would be great to tap into some matching fund support from Canadian federal government. Support will be needed even if and when they can return.
