Overview
We are raising funds to help us complete the life saving device called POMM™, With POMM™, parents can have peace of mind when they are away from their children. We are beyond the conceptual stage, with a team of people working behind the scenes. However, since we have not completed the POMM™ prototype yet, we have decided to create a Crowdfunding Campaign to support the final stretch of its development, before we launch. Are you ready to be a part of something BIG?

Inspiration for POMM™

Hello, My name is Maryann Kilgallon and I need YOUR help today. I have created & designed the POMM™ device after hearing the tragic story of a little boy who died in my town after being forgotten in a daycare van. After hearing the terrible details of his death, I became very upset and went to bed in tears. I was moved beyond upset and decided right their and then that I had to do something & take action to get involved to help stop this from continuing.

That very night I created the POMM™ device and the next day I started doing research and was stunned at the 600 thousand annual cases of child abuse & neglect by daycare centers & babysitters in the US alone. Also, the statistics are shocking that a child dies every 9 days from vehicle heatstroke death from being left in a vehicle. I have chosen to leave my current position in order to work full time on this life saving device and have joined a University business incubator program for mentorship, guidance and real world training to commercialize the POMM™ and make it a reality. We have an amazing talented team working very hard to bring the POMM™ device to market.

What We Need 

ANY DONATION AMOUNT IS ACCEPTED, I cannot do this alone and need the help of caring people who want to also make a difference. We have started the sourcing all the prototype components and have started on the mobile app. designs & layout. We need additional capital to complete the prototype & mobile  app. We have been accepted to exhibit at CES2019 in Eureka Park to launch POMM™ to the world and plan to secure strategic partnerships to take this device Global. 

The Impact

With your purchase or donation, you can be a part of something Big and know that you contributed to a great cause. There is no price tag on a precious life of  a child. Your gift is so very much appreciated and needed. Imagine having your name on our corporate headquarters where everyone can see the true backers who believed early on. Thank you for believing with us that 1 person can make a difference and we are united in the care of our future generation.

Risks & Challenges

We realized early on that we were undertaking a big challenge in order to make the POMM™ small and comfortable for little wrist. It has been very challenging finding the best, available & smallest parts & sensors. Our engineers have sourced the world for the best technology components and we feel confidant that we are ready to finalize the POMM™ device for production.

Other Ways You Can Help

If you cannot make a donation, we totally understand, but you could still be a HUGE contributor by talking about us to your co-workers, family and friends. Share us on your social media to help get the word out. find us on all social media as pommconnect
