  Mr. LEVIN of California. Madam Speaker, it is my great honor to 
recognize the Seeliger brothers, Jaiden, Keanu, and Milaan, for their 
creative and inspiring nonprofit, Tech-Angels, where they collect 
gently used cell phones, iPads and tablets to give to elderly people in 
nursing homes so they can stay connected with their loved ones.
  The coronavirus pandemic brought unprecedented changes to our lives, 
especially to older generations who are most susceptible to the virus. 
Inspired after their 97-year-old great-grandmother broke her leg and 
had to move to a nursing home in New York, the boys realized how 
fortunate they were to be able to see and speak with her on FaceTime on 
a regular basis.
  Knowing others may not have the same opportunity, they decided to 
find a way for others in similar circumstances to see their friends and 
family with the help of technology, creating their non-profit, Tech-
Angels. The three brothers soon realized that although their great 
grandmother knew how to use her devices, many other seniors in nursing 
homes did not.
  With Tech-Angels, participants not only receive a device to contact 
their loved ones, but also instructions on how to do it. The brothers 
also focused their efforts on the veteran community, feeling that 
veterans have done so much for our country and communities, that this 
access and service was the least they could do for them.
  For their ingenuity, kindness, and big hearts, I'm proud to honor 
Jaiden, Keanu, and Milaan as my January Constituents of the Month. 
Having young people in the district so encouraged to help their 
neighbors and those in need are the perfect example of how California's 
49th Congressional District is so incredibly special. I am grateful for 
their generosity and bright smiles that ensure our community grows 
stronger every day.
