Kashuv is developing a smart phone app that he self-funded that allows bullied or emotionally struggling students to seek help more easily. “We definitely understand we have a lacking in the department for emotional support at our schools,” Kashuv said in an interview on Fox Business, "And right now we clearly see a lot of movement in legislation trying to enact that.” Kashuv went on to say, "“I am right now working on an app … to help moms maybe volunteer at school for emotional support,” he added. The app is called ReachOut, and is currently in the final stages of development.
