Talk about bright young minds...and a bright future.

2 young men from New Hampshire have put their quarantine time to good use. Really good use. The teens launched a project for COVID-19 patients to be able to connect with their loved ones through FaceTime.

Kaya Suner and his former classmate, Christopher Fridlington have partnered for covidconnectors.org. Suner posted the idea on Facebook; asking for people to donate devices, specifically iPhones and iPads, so those in hospitals suffering from the virus, alone, can connect their friends and family using FaceTime. Both of Kaya's parents are doctors, so he felt motivated to pitch in during this crisis.

The response has been overwhelming.
