FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – Technology has been instrumental in connecting people during the unprecedented COVID-19 outbreak. While many are fortunate to have devices readily available to stay in touch with loved ones through phone calls and FaceTime, 19-year-old Kaya Suner realized this isn’t always a universal case, especially with hospital patients who can no longer receive visitors.

COVID Connectors is a nonprofit whose mission is to connect sick patients with their loved ones by collecting gently-used iPhones and iPads.
