##Introduction

Imagine fleeing your home with just a backpack. Crossing an ocean in a raft, only to find the borders closed Getting the chance to start over in America. Arriving with sparse possessions, no money, little English, and few prospects. But welcomed by safety, freedom and the generosity of the American people. refugeerestore is a shop that works to retore the lost homes of refugees in the United States. This was created by Robbie Jaeger, Kerry Sheldon, and Karina Gonzalez, as part of the Turing School of Software & Design's Module 2 curriculum. While the theme of the shop is rather specific, it implements both tags and categories (the charities) to classify items and offers an admin functionality to view and sort orders and create new items.

##Development This project utilizes Ruby on Rails as a web app framework, Paperclip and AWS for file attachment & storage, the Twitter API for twitter newsfeed, twilio for mms/sms text messaging, rails action mailer), and Bootstrap for styling.
