My name is Zo, I'm one of the co-founders of Ameelio. We are completely self-funded at the moment, so we need all the help we can get! We were recently accepted into one of Mozilla's accelerators, so this will provide us some additional funding. As a 501c3 we're eligible to receive grants and donations, so we're furiously applying to grants and reaching out to foundations. 34% of families with a loved one in prison fall into debt trying to pay for phone calls and visits alone (https://bit.ly/2YrmyPV), so we're committed to keeping our services 100% free.

Are you looking for a contributor? I would be happy to volunteer my time. I'm a software developer and am pumped about your mission.
We'd love to have some help with development. Please reach out to us. team@ameelio.org
My college (Macalester) will definitely have some cs majors willing to volunteer. I suppose you can have them work on some minor/nonurgent tasks. Is this something you'd be open to?
For sure! Shoot us a message at team@ameelio.org We really appreciate your help :)

Actually, if you're open to it, hell yeah... sending an email.
You guys are incredible.
