A nonverbal Omaha woman used her iPad to get help for a friend's aunt in Mississippi

Georgia Curry is nonverbal and communicates with an iPad. When her close friend Lajuana, who like Georgia had cerebral palsy, died a few years ago, Georgia promised to watch over Lajuana's aunt, Miss Marie, who lives in Mississippi. She calls her regularly, KETV reported on October 2, 2026.

One day at the QLI Rehabilitation campus in Omaha, supervisor Queenie Seals-Moore noticed Georgia had an urgency about her. Georgia pointed to her phone. Miss Marie was on the line, unwell, and her phone could receive calls but not make them. She had asked Georgia to get someone to call her brother. Seals-Moore reached him, and he brought Miss Marie her daily medication.

Miss Marie told Seals-Moore she felt she might not have made it through the night if no one had checked on her. "Georgia, she is a blessing to me," she told KETV. Georgia's sister Phelisa summed her up: "Nothing stops her."
