A Promise Born from Friendship
Cody McLain spent years navigating the foster care system. He details this journey in his book "From Foster Care to Millionaire". He understands the feeling of being invisible.
Later in life, Cody became close friends with an elderly neighbor named Wilke. They spent time together regularly. They would go out to eat at local diners and catch movies at the theater. Cody cherished these moments.
Wilke often shared his feelings of loneliness. He lived alone with just his cats for company. Outside of his time with Cody, his days were often quiet and solitary.
Cody realized that Wilke was not unique in this struggle. Countless seniors across the country face similar isolation every day. They have stories to tell and no one to hear them. This realization drove Cody to create ElderVoice. He wanted to build a companion to ensure seniors always have a friendly voice to greet them.
