"Hilda is a wonderful person who provides me with information whenever I have a question. She always takes the time to help me find a solution. If she is unable to answer my phone calls, she returns my call as soon as she is able."

With the support of our Digital Connector, Mr. Gonzalez was able to apply for a phone through Assurance Wireless. This was a significant step for him as it allowed him to communicate better with his medical providers. The Digital Connector taught him how to use the phone and saved important contacts for him, including his doctors’ numbers. Mr. Gonzalez was especially excited to learn how to use WhatsApp to stay in touch with his family and friends. He now enjoys video calling his daughter regularly.
