Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Alzheimer's / December 2005Giving to an Alzheimer Charity
Hello all - This is my first time visiting this group - I hope you can help me with a question. My Aunt/Godmother has Alzheimer's. She's at the point now where she doesn't know who I am and will not except any sort of gift from anyone for Christmas or birthday, as she doesn't like anything "new". Rather than give her a gift for these occasions as we all did in the past only to have to return them the next day, I want to take the money I would have used on the gift and give it to a charity that supports Alzheimer research or care giving. Can anyone suggest a good charity where my money will be of the most assistance? Thank you for your help. > Hello all - This is my first time visiting this group - I hope you can > help me with a question. [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > > Thank you for your help. The Alzheimer association. This is the link for the national one. There are individual chapters in each state. http://www.alz.org/ I think you are doing a very good thing. Evelyn Thank you all for your help - It sounds like the Alzheimer's Association is the way to go. I see there is also an Alzheimer's Foundation, but it looks like the Association is organization of choice. My Aunt lives in Staten Island, NY, while I am up in Massachusetts. I assume it's best to give to the local chapter where she is - ie. New York. Thanks again for your help. >> Hello all - This is my first time visiting this group - I hope you can >> help me with a question.
