WondaWedge Partners with Direct Relief International and Launches “Buy One, Give One” Program to Benefit Patients and Victims Worldwide
Cypress Creek Marketing, exclusive global distributor for the WondaWedge inflatable pillow, announced today the launch of a “Buy One – Give One” program designed to assist patients in hospitals and clinics around the world where adjustable hospital beds are not available.
The WondaWedge, designed by a physiotherapist for proper back support, provides just the right amount of support and different elevation angles to aid in proper recovery and comfort for patients who would otherwise have no other options beyond a cot, or the ground. The WondaWedge is a boon to assist workers in remote hospitals and clinics, or disaster relief workers who handle a variety of situations requiring proper positioning of the patient to enhance recovery.
Cypress Creek Marketing has been donating WondaWedges to the Haitian recovery effort for the past year, working with physical therapists at the Bernard Mevs Medishare Hospital in Port au Prince. As a physical therapist described the situation, “Patients in the hospital sleep on cots, with no means of elevating their head or legs. Because of your kind donation, we were able to provide pressure relief to patients who were unable to change positions in bed. Patients with pulmonary conditions were able to breathe more easily with the use of a WondaWedge. We were even able to use WondaWedge pillows to give comfort to patients at end-of-life. I sincerely appreciate your kindness to help people so desperately in need. Please know that your generosity significantly impacts the lives of many patients in Haiti.”
Now, in conjunction with Direct Relief International, WondaWedges can be made available to clinics and hospitals in more than 62 countries around the world. “We are pleased to partner with Direct Relief International on this program” says Margie Williams, Managing Partner for Cypress Creek Marketing. “Our customers have discovered the versatility of the WondaWedge and now we’re giving them the opportunity to help people who are less fortunate. The WondaWedge is such a small thing, but the benefits are huge.”
For every WondaWedge sold through the “Buy One – Give One” program, Cypress Creek Marketing will donate a WondaWedge to be distributed. Customers also have an opportunity to donate WondaWedges for the small cost of $9.00 each, without purchasing one for themselves, if they so desire.
Anthoula Randopoulos, Vice President of Philanthropic at Direct Relief International shares her enthusiasm for this program. “Direct Relief is so appreciative of the generous and innovative donation from WondaWedge. Our ability to give WondaWedges to our partners around the world will enable the hospitals and clinics we support to treat their patients more effectively and provide an enhanced level of comfort for patients who have no access to hospital beds.”
