First Edition - Newsletter

August 2008

We hope you enjoy the 1st Edition of our Newsletter. It is our goal to provide you with informative facts and topics that you find interesting as well as remind you of the ways you can help us to make a difference in the lives of caregivers and their loved ones.

As a young and growing charity, it has been an exciting start and we hope to include you in our community dedicated to ensuring no caregiver feels alone, isolated or without adequate financial resources. Our Foundation strives to ease the financial burden of caregiving one family at a time. We hope that you will share this journey with us.

Volunteering with the We Rage We Weep Alzheimer Foundation is an opportunity to make a very worthwhile contribution to your community.

This new Foundation strives to do more for caregivers who are often left to carry a heavy burden with minimal assistance. It's goals include ensuring that no caregiver feels alone, isolated or without monetary resources.

The WRWW Alzheimer Foundation is a brand new charity serving South Vancouver Island (to start) and therefore needs volunteers to help in many ways.
