Hope Counter
During the pandemic, one number never made headlines: recoveries.
Hope Counter changed that. With the Red Cross, we built a live platform celebrating every COVID-19 recovery in real time. Each count was a reminder: survivors could help others by donating antibody-rich plasma. A shift from fear to healing.
BRANDING
Our task began with the crucial step of identifying a reliable and enduring data source for COVID-19 recovery statistics. After extensive research, we chose Johns Hopkins University's API, specifically for news broadcasting. This choice ensured that our platform would have access to accurate and constantly updated information, essential for reflecting the pandemic's real-time nature and driving our initiative's message of hope.

Users chose a donation partner — like AABB or the COVID-19 Plasma Alliance —
and, with location access, the site instantly displayed the nearest plasma center via Google Maps.
Live geolocation made participation seamless.
