ComputerFox, a Connecticut-based computer repair chain, has
volunteered its computer repair services to Circle of Care, an
in-house hospital program that offers support to families with
children with cancer. Circle of Care services families in the Yale
Medical Center and others.
ComputerFox is headed by Milford businessman Rocco J. Frank, Jr., who
saw this as another great way to reach out to those who really needed
help.Frank has a long history of offering his computer services to
those in need. He currently operates a free computer recycling program
and a free refurbished computer program for those who are on public
assistance and can not afford to buy their own.
“Circle of Care provides ComputerFox with a unique opportunity to help
sick children and their families,” said Frank. So far, ComputerFox has
volunteered several hours of their computer repair services and some
computer parts. “We estimate that the initial repair of the
organization’s laptops is the equivalent of over $1,000 worth of parts
and services,” said Frank.
Volunteering began with the repair of all of the organizations laptop
computers, but that was only the beginning. ComputerFox will also
maintain the computers indefinitely through the use of an employee who
will become a volunteer, absolutely free of charge.
“I have four precious children of my own,” said Frank, “and would
really appreciate any help if something ever happened to one of them.”
Circle of Care offers support for families with cancer through an
in-hospital program and telephone peer support. Also, the laptop
computers are also offered to families in need.
Rocco J. Frank, Jr., CEO of ComputerFox is also running for office in
2008, as an Independent candidate for State Representative for the
118th District of Connecticut, which includes Milford and Devon. He
hopes that his goodwill toward all, even those outside his voting
district like Circle of Care, translates into something great for
everyone in Connecticut.
