According to KING-TV in Seattle, Avi Schiffman is currently living in California, taking a gap year from his studies at Harvard to work on some start-up projects. But when Russia invaded Ukraine late last month, Schiffman and his Harvard classmate, Marco Burstein, decided to help.
Schiffman initially tweeted the idea for his website on Feb. 27. He told Geek Wire that he and Burstein raced to launch the website. People seeking shelter need only to enter the nearest city into the website to call up a list of people willing to host refugees.
