Brighten Someone’s Day with Hugmail

Did you know that 40% of grandparents live over one hour away from their grandchildren, or that 50% of the over 75s live alone. What about the fact that last Christmas Day, half a million  over 75s spent the day alone without contact with another human? Though these statistics paint a dark, depressing picture, this is the very reason why the Hugmail app has been developed. Rather than feeling bad about the lack of contact we have with our relatives,  Hugmail  wanted to do something to help, something that can help people show just how much they care in a quick and easy way. – so says the Hugmail website.
