I'm David Lennard. I have terminal Multiple Myeloma. Six years ago, I was given 72 hours to live.

I'm still here. Through grit and perseverance, I've bought time. Twice I've been sent to hospice. Twice I've come back.

The healthcare system's failures nearly killed me faster. Lost medical records. Ignored symptoms. Permanent jaw damage from unreported drug side effects. Zero support when I became homeless.

Instead of waiting to die, I spent 26,000 waking hours building CareHub. It's a platform to ensure other patients don't fall through the same cracks. About 18 months ago, it became clear that most of the Care Gap cancer patients experience, is similar to that of other chronic disease suffers, and most Aged Care patients. It now serves 8 disease communities (1.7B+ people globally) with symptom tracking, community support, and care coordination in 15+ languages.

Here's a short introduction:

THE SITUATION

CareHub is pre-revenue and pre-funding. I don't have the cashflow to continue operations while we work toward our ICO and seed round. Multiple Myeloma has left me disabled and high-risk, which limits traditional employment options. My development computer recently failed. I'm borrowing hardware just to keep building.

WHAT I NEED

$30,000 to cover 6 months of operations and equipment while I complete the beta launch and secure proper funding.

Where it goes:

→ Housing/utilities: $1,800/month

→ Food: $600/month

→ Phone/internet: $200/month

→ Platform hosting and subscriptions: $400/month

→ Part-time staff hours: $600/month

→ Legal/insurance: $400/month

→ Development computer replacement (one-time): $6,000

THE BULK OF THE WORK IS DONE

CareHub is a working platform in beta testing right now. The documentation, business model, and technology are complete. I just need runway to get it across the finish line.

THE CARE GAPS I LIVED (and CareHub solves):

Medical Records Nightmare: 1,000 pages reduced to 10 during hospital transfer.

CareHub Solution: ProviderConnect.

Ignored Warning Signs: I begged for treatment. I was refused. I ended up hospitalized with fractured vertebrae, ribs, and sternum.

CareHub Solution: Continuous symptom tracking with provider visibility.

Unreported Drug Side Effects: I reported violent reactions to Zometa. Treatment continued anyway. Permanent jaw damage.

CareHub Solution: Patient-reported side effects visible to entire care team.

Social Worker Failure: I was given 100 phone numbers without working links while homeless in the Arizona desert.

CareHub Solution: Cultural Ambassadors and resource finders with direct connections.

Every feature addresses a gap I experienced personally, or I learned from other patients, and 1,000's of hours of Twitter spaces and FaceBook groups.

If you can contribute, thank you. If you can share, that helps too. Every dollar keeps this mission moving.
