Eveo Announces the Launch of Family Reach Give App, First Crowdfunding App for Families Fighting Cancer

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 1, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Eveo, an award-winning digital healthcare agency, announces the release of its first agency-wide pro-bono project, the Family Reach Give App. 'Give' is the first Crowdfunding app dedicated to providing instant financial relief to families fighting cancer. It allows anyone with a smartphone (iOS and Android) to easily contribute by paying a family's bill for things such as electricity, transportation, or rent. For each dollar donated, the donor gets Karma points, which when accumulated to a certain level, can trigger donation-matching by a corporate sponsor.

'Give' was built for the Family Reach foundation, a non-profit which has been dedicated to providing financial support to cancer-fighting families for over 16 years. All children featured on the app have been vetted by the foundation and recommended by social workers from over 30 hospitals in the U.S.

"With Family Reach Give, we now have the opportunity to support thousands more families through crowdfunding and matching corporate gifts," said Carla Tardif, Executive Director of Family Reach. "Together we will make a profound impact on the financial turmoil families fighting cancer in this country face every day. Real families will be able to stay by a child's side and breathe a little easier knowing there are people out there who care.  We are excited to see the response and provide more families the financial and emotional support they need through Family Reach Give!"

Olivier Zitoun, Founder and CEO of Eveo, joined Family Reach as a member of the National Advisory Board in November of 2014. Working closely with his team at Eveo, Olivier facilitated the creation of 'Give' over the last year, helping to address a national growing crisis that had previously gone ignored. "The Give App is the best expression of what technology can do for good. Now anyone can directly help another family just via an app. It's not crowdfunding, it's crowdcaring!"
