ComfortApp Fundraising Initiative

ComfortApp Fundraising Initiative
September, 2011 - September, 2012

The story of the ComfortApp Fundraising Initiative . . .

The organization was founded as a result of personal experiences. Both from the side of the patient - bored without a distraction - and from the volunteer that talks to and tries to provide some enjoyment to patients. Two University of Michigan students recognized the need to provide patients with comfort technology and engaged two other students to join in this initiative to fund iPad's for distribution to patients while receiving their treatment. ComfortApp will work to provide relief. Please take a moment to visit ComfortApp's website to learn more. Please use our online donation form to support this initiative.
