Tablets For Bay Area Nursing Homes
Donation protected
My name is Daniel.
I’m a junior at Monte Vista High School.
Recently, shortly after the shelter in place due to Coronavirus, both of my grandparents had life changing medical emergencies. My grandpa had a severe stroke which left him paralyzed and unable to speak. My grandma, one week after grandpa had the stroke, fell down and critically injured herself. She will need extended physical therapy in a rehabilitation center to recover. They are now both in local nursing homes.
Due to coronavirus, because no visitors are allowed in those places, I haven’t been able to see them for weeks. However some nurses, out of their kindness, call us on their personal phones and we are able to facetime and see them. These nursing homes are going through hard times financially because of the current situation and cannot afford to buy tablets for patient use and family interaction. Many peoples loved ones are dying without the chance to even say goodbye to their family. A lot of people in the nursing homes have dementia, strokes and other severe illnesses. They feel lonely, isolated and depressed because they were used to seeing their family members. Now due to the coronavirus there is a no visitors policy in place at all the healthcare facilities.
For this reason, I decided to start a fundraiser to buy and distribute tablets to nursing homes and rehabilitation centers in need, around the Bay Area. My goal is to be able to raise $2,000 worth of tablets that will connect families, provide entertainment to patients, and are easy to use. During these difficult times a small act of kindness will take us a long way. Technology is connecting people around the world. These tablets will provide so much comfort to those people who can not be with their loved ones while they are in critical health.
Thank you for your consideration and donation, every tablet will bring dozens of families together in these hard times :))
