Gabriel and his family would end up using this very program to virtually visit with his Nonno for the last few weeks, before Nonno passed away in the hospital due to Parkinson's. This program had such an impact on him and his family that all funeral donations in Nonno's name, Frank Sementilli, were directed to the T2B – iPad Program.

The donation of these iPADs has been instrumental in connecting families with their loved ones during these difficult times. Particularly in a border city with the current international travel restrictions, the ability to have virtual face-to-face visiting with loved ones both in their final hours and while hospitalized has provided our patients and their families with some comfort and for that we are grateful. We’ve virtually connected family from the United States and for Europe with their loved ones; truly a gift. Thank you for everything that you do for us here at HDGH their families.

Thank you T2B. Your generous donations helped my family connect with our father when he was in the hospital and visitation was restricted. It was an essential lifeline for us to communicate with him. As an elderly man with hearing issues, phones were not an option in speaking with him. Communicating through the ipad provided a lot of confidence and comfort to him and to us. It also allowed him to communicate with out-of-town family, who may not have been able to speak to him using alternative means. Even after the pandemic is over, these ipads will still be amazing tools to help ease the feeling of loneliness to those in need during their hospital stay. We can't thank you enough for your donation.

These iPads have made connecting out hospital patients to their doctor appointments a success. These iPads allow us to use OTN (a secure encrypted network) and are the ideal bedside tool for connecting patient appointments when COVID concerns limit our ability to transfer patients between campuses or even to conference rooms. The iPads also allow us to send secure links to essential family or friends critical to the patients supportive care. Thank you.

T2B was such a pleasant surprise and COMFORT to our family last year. Truly appreciate your thoughtfulness to those going through dark times.

Those comfort totes mean so much to the patients receiving treatment at the Cancer Clinic. I was unlucky enough to be there but lucky enough to receive one 1.5 years ago, a very kind gesture and did not go unnoticed.

The iPADS are so beneficial for our Telemedicine program. Using them to facilitate patient appointments with Ouellette patients and connecting these patients to cancer center doctors at the MET site, as well as being able to send links to family members so that they can participate in these important appointments as well. I wanted to reach out to you and let you know how much we appreciate everything T2B is able to do for our community. This is just one example of how T2B is helping patients and their families.

T2B is the best! I work on the oncology floor as a housekeeper, and I get to see firsthand a patient's face light up after receiving comfort from T2B.
