Mary, Harold’s loving wife of 40 years has dementia. On a retired person’s fixed income it’s difficult for Harold to afford the programs and services to look after Mary and him.
Since Bill, Susan’s devoted father developed dementia and came to live with them it’s been difficult to afford the support she needs especially with 2 teenagers still living at home. Even though the kids help out they have needs too and there just isn’t enough in the budget to go around.
Mathew has early onset dementia. Since he can no longer work it’s all up to Elizabeth and on one income it’s a challenge to afford the care Mathew needs while Liz is at work.
Bella is saddened that with the progression of her grandmother’s dementia she only remembers her granddaughter on a good day. Even Bella knows her family could use more help in looking after grandma but they can’t afford it.
Hi. I’m Marjorie. My father lost his battle with Alzheimer Disease in August 1995.
This is my mother, June, who wrote a book - We Rage, We Weep: A Rural Caregiver’s Experience Coping with Alzheimer’s Disease - published in 2000 recounting her emotions and experiences caring for my father.
As an extension of the book and a tribute to all the folks it’s helped I founded We Rage We Weep Alzheimer Foundation in 2006. The Foundation was formed to assist all the Harold and Marys, Susan and Bills, Mathew and Elizabeths, and Bella and her grandmother who are in need of financial support to acquire the programs and services to care for their loved ones. You can help me, help them with your simple donation of just $5.00 today.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Dr. Marjorie Moulton, Executive Director
