Problem Statement:

My mother, living alone in Orlando FL, is constantly losing her phone. She sets it face down in a random and inconsistent locations within or in close proximity to her home (front porch, bathroom, bedroom, kitchen, back yard, etc). I chose to tackle this problem because I know my mother will never see this issue as detrimental enough to justify fixing. However, I would like to save her time and trouble because she gave me life, and she deserves a little help once in a while.
