QRF – Veteran Support & Crisis Response App

React · HTML · CSS

Application Built for veterans

QRF is more than an app — it’s a lifeline. The app was built to fight the “22 a Day” crisis by giving veterans a fast, simple way to call for help and connect with others nearby. A central QRF button lets a veteran signal distress, triggering logic that notifies veterans within the user’s ZIP code so they can reach out and respond.

I focused on the front-end implementation using React, HTML, and CSS, making sure the interface is clean, calm, and obvious even under stress. QRF keeps veterans organized, connected, and in control wherever life takes them.
