ABOUT US
COVID-19 has impacted everyone’s lives in some way, and social distancing has left many people bored and lonely. Seniors in nursing homes feel especially isolated during this time, as they must adhere to strict restrictions to keep themselves safe, for they have the highest risk of suffering complications from this disease. Currently, they are unable to have visitors and see their families and friends. Distanced Positivity emerged to address this issue by creating a platform for raising money to donate tablets to these isolated seniors, so they can connect with their families and friends through video chat. You can support us by donating to our GoFundMe or purchasing our stickers on Redbubble to spread positivity!
