Dear Tushar, People living with Alzheimer's and their caregivers have seen their lives upended — whether they're struggling financially due to work closures, feeling isolated from family members, stressed about potential COVID-19 exposure in a loved one's care facility or all of the above.
Tushar, as we reach the year's halfway mark and near the end of Alzheimer's & Brain Awareness Month, I'm so thankful for the new monthly donors who have stepped up to increase their commitment to our vital work — especially now, as the COVID-19 crisis has required us to adapt our critical work in many ways:
We've successfully transitioned our support groups, education programs and care consultations to phone or virtual formats.
We've published new, pandemic-related website pages to help the families and professionals providing dementia care stay informed on the challenges of COVID-19.
We've engaged in crucial advocacy efforts to call for the safety of those living and working in long-term care facilities, many of which have been hit hard by the pandemic.
And we're continuing to champion research that could one day end Alzheimer's, as some trials adapt their protocols to keep participants safe.
Giving monthly is efficient because your donation is charged automatically each month. It's flexible, as you can change the amount anytime. And recurring gifts are powerful, as they provide the ongoing support needed to further 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 — especially at this unprecedented time.
Your donation will strengthen our efforts to advance Alzheimer's care, support and research. From face-to-face support to online education programs and promising global research initiatives, your gift makes a difference in the lives of all those affected by Alzheimer's and other dementias in your community and across the world. Thank you for your continued support.
