Christmas shopping is getting closer at hand and what I hate to think about is the fact that most of the gifts we are going to give this year are going to be returned or end up in a drawer somewhere never to be seen again. What about giving a holiday gift this year that keeps giving? Something that actually has meaning and a purpose behind it. Purchase a holiday gift from the Alzheimer’s Foundation Store and not only will you get a high quality gift with meaning behind it but all of the proceeds benefit the Alzheimer’s Foundation of America. If you can not find a gift in the shop, think about giving a donation in that persons name to the foundation. People to not give to charity in other people’s name because they may think the person they are giving for will think bad of them, but maybe they will be thankful for the chance you gave them to help someone.
I believe that Alzheimer’s is one of the most devastating diseases because not only does it take away the life of the sufferer but it takes the life of the caregiver. They give so much of themselves with little reward or no reward. It must be so heart breaking to give your body and soul to someone and they not even remember who you are. The only thing sufferers have left is their dignity and it is because of the caregivers’ selflessness that they are able to keep that when everything else in their life is fading so fast. Just think the joy you will get out of knowing that your hard earned money is also going to a wonderful cause. Wouldn’t you rather spend your money there than at Wal-Mart.Please give a donation or make a purchase from the Alzheimer’s Foundation store this year, it is a gift that will be remembered.
