Operation Connection
The iPad Project
When John Lynch of the Lunch with Lynch Foundation heard that nurses at Cape Regional Medical Center were using their personal cell phones to help quarantined patients communicate with their family members, he jumped into action. John reached out to family friend and nursing supervisor, Kimberly Belasco and asked how many iPads were needed at the hospital. She said 5 to 10 would be a huge help for their patients to communicate with their families. We are proud to say that through a great effort with our local community we were able to supply 20 iPads to our local hospital.
Our goal was to collect and donate 20 iPads, but we received over 60 and have been delivering them to various hospitals and senior care centers. We would like to get another 100 iPads to deliver and we need your help.

The Power of Community!
It is impossible to thank everyone that has made a donation to this project. We have received messages from families that have been able to communicate with loved ones at the hospital or in a nursing homes.
We have received some happy stories and some very heart breaking stories. Everyone we have talked to has been very appreciative of the kindness of our long reaching community!
YOU - are the power of Community
