NEED TO SPEAK - PLATFORM FOR CONNECTIONS

In today’s world, almost everyone knows someone that has been affected by cancer. It is an extremely difficult and complicated situation to be in whether you are actually suffering with the disease or are caring for someone who is.

In such a difficult time, having the support of others through advice or even just kind, encouraging words can make all the difference. Although patients have access to information through their hospital and doctors, oftentimes, caregivers are burdened with seeking out medical information and guidance in order to properly take care of their loved ones. Scouring the web for relevant information can be exhausting and sometimes even futile. Apart from medical information, caregivers and patients are in need of moral support to keep their spirits high. To serve this purpose there are many support forums but none that are robust enough to foster meaningful connections.

From this central problem, Eve’s Appetite for Cure was born to create a unifying platform where all people affected by cancer can share experiences and connect. There are many cancer support forums but none that provide a user friendly social network style experience.
