I have a transitional living module I have developed and am currently trying to prototype that answers what I believe are the questions about dealing with this and other similar situations quickly and decisively. I am looking for a manufacturer partner or financial partner to market this system and aid in the needed deployment to those without hope! Trying to make the World a Better Place.
