Free medical wristbands for Holocaust survivors
MyMDband is a sleek wristband with a personalized QR (Quick Response) code that includes emergency medical information accessible to medical personnel anytime, anywhere. The new Israeli startup Crowdmii has begun distributing its wristbands for free to Holocaust survivors around the world as part of its crowdfunding campaign also called “Crowdmii” (short for “crowd made in Israel). MyMDband is suitable for senior citizens and people with chronic illness or allergies. The startup is working together with the Helping Hand Coalition, which distributes food, clothing and financial grants to Holocaust survivors, as well as coordinating social events for the survivors. Together, MyMDband and Helping Hand are galvanizing the support of many organizations and communities worldwide (Jewish and non-Jewish). st Friday, 35 Holocaust survivors who live in Tiberias were the first people to receive the gift of a free MyMDband, following a donation from Keren Poriya. About 190,000 Holocaust survivors currently live in Israel, 25 percent of whom unfortunately live below the poverty line. A total of 1,500 MyMDband wristbands will be distributed to survivors free of charge during this campaign. Survivors interested in receiving a free wristband can find details at www.crowdmii.com. The campaign will continue until the end of September. “We would like to thank Keren Poriya and the Helping Hand Coalition and all of our supporters for helping with this important cause,” said Assaf Luxembourg, CEO of Crowdmii. “Crowdmii will continue helping Israel’s friends abroad to support Israeli initiatives so that we may continue to be a ‘light unto the nations.’”
