Pavella

If you’re asking what the name “Pavella” means… We removed the “L” to make it shorter because why not?

Go for launch. More to come…

On Sunday night the father of Pavella founder @gregsvo passed away from ALS. Don's love for his family, for others, and for his God inspire us to love, create, and work hard for the betterment of others. We love you, and we miss you, Don.

Every part of Microsoft's Adaptive Controller has been designed for those with different abilities... even the packaging can be opened with one hand. youtu.be/8hWft3fUWTY Well done.

It's simple. When you build adaptive devices, you bring JOY to others. youtu.be/_ymbv-Z5KRk

Men who love deeply, live unselfishly, serve tirelessly, and give generously... are the best a man can get. youtube.com/watch?v=koPmuEyP…

A wonderful example of a small act of love... from Winnie The Pooh. youtu.be/kiYgxovyPnE

There are not enough #ASL translators for the amount of students who need them, nor is there funds to staff to needed levels. Work in this area wouldn't just be "disruptive," it would be "life-changing." A good place to launch: goo.gl/FdRg1g #godosomethinggood

In case you're wondering, the letters pictured in that last tweet aren't cardboard, they're 1/4" thick WOOD! No problem for the laser cutters at the @techcentral_cpl Maker Space. ...and to think I was going to jigsaw the lettering by hand... 🤦‍♂️

Cortney @ the Cleveland Public Lib's MakerSpace (@techcentral_cpl) is incredible! She patiently helped me design & laser cut a massive #pavella logo! I COULD NOT have done it without her help. She is one of the many reasons the @Cleveland_PL is the best. library. EVER.

Pavella's first email update to supporters has been sent! If you'd like to see what we're up to, please subscribe at pavella.org.
