If you get the chance to speak to a child with cancer, you immediately feel an urgent need to act. That’s why we partnered with DigitalOcean - to act on that urgency. DigitalOcean enables us to build and improve our childhood cancer support tools fast. And the faster we build effective tools like the Hope Portal, the faster that all children with cancer and their families get to access the support resources they need now.

I can confidently say DigitalOcean has been a game-changer for our organization. As compared to other infrastructure service technologies we tried, it's clear that DigitalOcean understands the importance of simplicity, support, and reliable technology for education. They have exceeded our expectations in every way.

Hollie Haggans was a passionate community builder who supported developers and small business owners around the world. In her time at DigitalOcean, Hollie created a “Hub for Good” (later named Hollie’s Hub for Good) which allowed DigitalOcean to support our global community during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Hollie’s goal was always to find ways to support underserved, underrepresented, and under-resourced communities, using technology. Her original idea to make DigitalOcean a conduit for that work has been tremendously successful. We’re proud to remember Hollie, and her legacy will always live on through our DO Impact programming.
