One of the recipients of an iPad, a 17-year-old girl, said it will help her stay in touch with her family and friends when she needs them the most.
“They bring me a lot of support and not think about the chemo or the surgeries. It brings me happiness and support,” said Alejandra Maldonado.
The foundation was launched in 2010 by a radio DJ who lost one of her close friends to cancer.
