JJ and her brother, Ken, came up with the idea for Goodshop while she was reporting for CNN in Biloxi, MS and New Orleans during Hurricane Katrina. While covering the terrible events JJ became convinced that she needed to do something to allow people to support all the causes that need attention across the nation. JJ uses Goodshop for FARE which is helping find a cure for her daughter and nephew's life threatening food allergies.
