Meal & Food Delivery for Seniors

Utilizing professional New York City Taxi and For-Hire licensed drivers to help our seniors and still make a living for their own families.

Emergency Medical Supply Delivery

We delivered much needed supplies to those that needed it the most, those who were selflessly serving on the front lines of this pandemic- hospital staff and health care workers. We delivered donated medical supplies and equipment from fellow New Yorkers.

 

This partnership was operating with connected professional taxi and for-hire licensed drivers to assist as the backbone of all programs allowing New Yorkers to earn a living while the lockdown continued. All of these solutions were at no cost to New York City Health Services or those benefiting from these services.  They are financed by Myle Technologies and PVBLIC Foundation.

 

Since March this partnership has been transporting COVID-19 positive patients to life saving procedures and therapies safely without risking lives or further spreading the virus.

 

In addition to transporting NYC’s most vulnerable, the EXTRAMYLE program is also supporting the Care to Connect NYC platform that is collecting all types of unused smart devices, smartphones, tablets and accessories. This was done to keep COVID-19 patients connected to friends, family and to access virtual support while being faced with a life threatening illness. 

 

“To those in need, NYC’s most vulnerable, the unused smartphones and tablets can be a window to the world; a support network, lifeline, safe place to keep patients informed and connected,” said Sergio Fernandez de Cordova, Chairman, PVBLIC Foundation.

 

“We decided to partner with PVBLIC the PVBLIC Foundation and donated our technology and our taxi fleet, as resources, to service this program by managing device pickups and medical supplies and delivering them to local residents of New York’s five boroughs,” stated Aleksey Medvedovskiy, CEO of Myle Technologies.
