We are determined to facilitate people helping people, family and friends find each other again. Also centralizing the coordinates of all help Organisations in one convenient place.
Once you downloaded the app you Sign-up, login and are immediately active and visible on Reconnec-t.. you can be found and you can search for others. When connection request is accepted you are able to communicate via mail and phone buttons.
We decided to create this app to help! After seeing the devastation and suffering the war in Ukraine brought upon the Ukrainian people, we knew Reconnec-t could make a big difference to them.
One meeting point where you can search for each other, connect and stay connected. When you get a new telephone number or email, just update your profile and everyone instantly has your latest coordinates.
Never underestimate the power of networks! When faced with extreme challenges, humans have a built in survival mechanism, when they cooperate and synergies they can move mountains.
Development and server costs to run this app are not cheap, we are covering all costs. Eventually we will raise funds by donations and sponsors to keep this service running.
When the horrifying effects of the war in Ukraine came to light, no one was left untouched. Anthony says he was watching the news and saw situations where people were having a hard time to find their family, relatives and loved ones because of the displacement caused by the war. It touched his soul, he felt sorry for these poor people.
On the other hand it warmed his heart to see how many others where trying to help and offer food, shelter, clothes and comfort. But the coordination and communication between the fugitives and helpers was difficult, which is normal in sudden events like these.
Everyone, be it private citizens or institutional help organisations had to create their own coordination methods to get in touch with the fugitives before they could help.
Anthony is a Belgian Real Estate professional and he firmly believes that in Real Estate it’s in everyone’s interest to have a cooperation between competing Real Estate professionals, and in the first place for the consumers they serve. So he had this idealistic idea to create a platform that connects Real Estate professionals and facilitates cooperation. YESMLS is the name of the app, it is now in the final stages of development.
One day it dawned on him that he also could help by using the YESMLS technology to create a new app facilitating connection and cooperation between fugitives and helpers. He immediately contacted his senior developer Sumangal Basistha, with the question if they could make a copy of YESMLS, strip it, and adapt it to helping the Ukrainian fugitives in need.
Sumangal acknowledged it was possible, and together with his software team they would do all they can to get it up and running as quickly as possible. Anthony decided to temporarily stop with the further development of YESMLS and put all available recourses towards creating Reconnec-t.
If all the investments and efforts would only help one family reunite or ease one human’s
pain, it will have been worth it!

In danger status is when a user experiences a situation that he deems dangerous. For instance a user that is in a war zone or someone that’s unable to get up after he or she fell. Need help status is when a user is in a situation where they need help. For instance someone that is looking for assistance in any way, be it someone that has Covid and needs somebody to get them groceries or even someone fleeing a war zone in need of food and shelter. In their public info they can specify what kind of help they are looking for.
The list is endless, be it helping someone getting home, having furniture to give away to people needing it, giving someone a place to stay, giving them a ride to where they need to go end so on.
We do an immediate check when a new user or organisation registers, we also have a ‘report this user’ option when a user/organisation would provide a service that isn’t correct once active. Then we vet the complaint(s) and act accordingly, be it contacting that organisation to fix the problem or deactivating when necessary.
For the moment only the ‘Report this user’ option and the preliminary check upon activation of an account.
Wherever needed, we will add countries accordingly.
No but we would love to once we are launching the app to the public.
