Dear John,
When you become a caregiver for someone living with Alzheimer's, your world changes in many ways.
Alzheimer's disease upended longtime friend and Alzheimer's Association Zenith Society member Cheryl Gross' life while she cared for her mother, Nadine. During Nadine's decade-long fight with this devastating disease, Cheryl was there for her every step of the way. Cheryl experienced how the small moments of joy can mix with sadness and the great need for abundant patience.
Your gift can make 2X the impact to help provide care and support and advance research thanks to Cheryl, who has pledged to match every donation made to our $100,000 October Matching Gift Challenge before October 31, up to a total of $100,000 — if we can raise the same amount before the deadline. Cheryl's gift, to be made in honor of her mother, will support the Association's efforts to advance the technology that powers our global research efforts and support programs.
On behalf of the 16 million caregivers across America, please make your gift now to support our $100,000 October Matching Gift Challenge.
John, it's never easy to have a loved one facing Alzheimer's, or to be a caregiver. And this year the challenges have been especially great because of the pandemic, which has had such a devastating effect on long-term care settings, caregivers and families. These critical challenges demonstrate just how urgent our work is and how much your support matters. Right now you have the opportunity for your donation to make 2X the impact, but only until October 31 and ONLY if we can raise the same amount. Please help us reach our $100,000 October Matching Gift Challenge goal by making your first gift and joining with us now.
Cheryl knows the pain and loss of Alzheimer's. So do many caregivers and others touched by Alzheimer's. This terrible disease has touched so many lives. Sadly, no one is safe.
Many of us know someone who is, or has been, a caregiver, often a family member, friend or neighbor. Our vital work to support caregivers is only possible with your support.
Whether you provide daily caregiving, participate in decision making or have a loved one living with the disease, we have resources to help. By joining with us today, you'll help strengthen our community and serve those who need us 24/7 through our Helpline (800.272.3900) and at alz.org/help-support, where we can provide care consultation, resources and local referrals for support.
Your donation will support our mission to lead the way to end Alzheimer's and all other dementia — by accelerating global research, driving risk reduction and early detection, and maximizing quality care and support.
Thank you,
Donna McCullough
Chief Field and Development Officer
P.S. Please give today to honor the 16 million Americans who are providing Alzheimer's care to those living with the disease.
