I know this might not be a great idea but I'm trying anything at this point. I'm looking at all the big companies in the area and sending them all an email asking them for help. I'm specifically asking them for their employees for the day, this could be their donation. Of course they would have the choice to pay them or not but at least "excuse them" for the day.
There are A LOT of call centers in FL and employees are held to a VERY strict policy of attendance at these kind of companies. For example, a lot of people that I work with really want to search and some have been on their day off. I have thought of calling out just one day this week so I can search but there is no way I could risk this in fear of being on the news and losing my job.
Bottom line, my company donates huge amounts of money to charities each year....they have the "manpower" to route calls to other locations as they do when there are hurricanes etc. There is NO reason why they can't do this---just alone I work with over a thousand people. There are other HUGE companies here in FL as well.
I'll keep everyone updated with any word.
