During the pandemic my husband and I wanted to do something to help.
In early April of 2020, we spoke to two of our friends who are doctors at USCF. They told us how COVID-19 patients were in total isolation and how nurses were just playing songs on their iPhones to ease the patients nerves and help them cope.
We saw an opportunity to help bring awareness to this issue and created The Sound Relief Project. We created a website and social presence.
Within just 1 month of launching we hit our goal of 300 speakers. In total we gave away 1,000 speakers to patients across San Francisco at USCF and the VA.
We received a letter of recognition from the association of Veteran Affairs and multiple write ups in local press.
