Guilt B Gone

Inspiration

We were searching for solution to helping the homeless directly. We realized that by helping connect New Yorkers to those in need, we can help people help others.

What it does

It allows users to report homeless people on a map who are in need and survey whether they need clothes, food or water. This information gets stored on a map and users who are looking to help can access the locations of homeless people in need as well as what they have requested. It's like Amazon Wishlist for homeless people.

How we built it

We used Android Studio, SQL and Google Maps API

Challenges we ran into

-load and store data to sql -create a location in Google Maps, try to show small info on Google Map

Accomplishments that we're proud of
