BOOK FOR A LOVED ONE
It started at her
kitchen table.
  1. Sitting down together
  2. A new phone
  3. A safer bank
  4. Her very own email

Why we do what we do

When my grandmother was targeted by financial fraud, the savings in one of her bank accounts disappeared. Nobody in our family could get her to try a new phone or switch banks. So I sat with her, went slowly, and we did it together. Today she has a new phone, a safer bank and her very own email address.

That's when I saw how many older adults are one scam call away from losing everything, and how few people have the patience to teach them. Boxed By Bre exists to break that box, the wall between you and the technology that runs your life.

“Every visit comes with time to talk. We never rush out the door.”

Bre, founder
