So I'm hestitant to even ask this because I don't want to be leveraging this forum in a way that offends anyone but I have a question for those of you with military spouses. I apologize if this is long but thank you for reading!
My mother has a company that she started about 1.5 years ago (great timing, I know). One of their main goals is support of military families. Their concept is social networking for military kids and families. Each family has a profile, a page, etc. to keep them in touch with other families as they move around and any deployed family members. The concept has elements for kids ages 3-18 and of course for their parents. The website is free of charge for these users (other arms of the company are trying to turn a profit) but she's having trouble getting it out there. As you can imagine, things are REALLY slow at the government right now. Every service person she speaks with literally says "we need this, etc" but she has trouble getting on the calendar of the people who need briefings. I'm wondering if it's not time to go viral in some way. To just start putting it out there on message boards, banner ads, whatever they have to do. These families need support and ways to connect that are safe, wholesome, and accessible during deployments, moves, etc.
So, what I want to know is, any ideas? I don't want to just sign on random message boards and post this. I feel like those links, etc. always seemed designed to take advantage of people and I don't want to turn people off.
Again, I apologize if this was a misuse of this board but I'm desperate for this idea not to die!!! Thank you for reading and thank you for your service to our country and citizens.
