As we recognize caregivers – the unsung heroes of the Alzheimer’s disease epidemic – during National Family Caregivers Month, I hope you’ll consider making a donation as a tribute to everything they do.

Cynthia Foster is one of the more than 15 million people in the United States caring for an individual with Alzheimer’s or another dementia. A devoted wife, mother and grandmother, Cynthia credits the Alzheimer’s Association with helping her move forward after her husband Karel Samsom’s devastating diagnosis.

“We joined a group that helped us confront Alzheimer’s disease and face our challenges,” Cynthia explains. “No one tells you what to do when you get home after the diagnosis, but the Association does. That was such a dark time for us, and I was so grateful for their support.”

With your generosity, we can provide Cynthia, and millions like her, with much-needed resources. Whether they connect with us online, over the phone or in person, we’re here to help.

Please give today so we can continue to care for those who care for others.

In honor of National Family Caregivers Month, Marianne Milkman will generously donate $15,000 to the Alzheimer’s Association if we can raise the same amount by Nov. 15. Marianne cared for her husband, Roger, who had Alzheimer’s disease.
Help us seize this exceptional opportunity by making a gift today in recognition of the more than 15 million Alzheimer’s and dementia caregivers in the United States.
When Roger, a renowned professor and geneticist, missed a familiar highway exit for the first time, Marianne added the incident to a growing list of concerns. Tests later confirmed their fears, and Marianne instantly became her husband’s main caregiver. After 52 years of marriage, Roger lost his battle with Alzheimer’s in 2011, succumbing to complications of this devastating disease.
Today, we are asking you to support caregivers like Marianne. Your tax-deductible donation of $50 can become $100, or a gift of $100 can become $200. Any amount you give can have twice the impact and help us continue to advance vital research and enhance care and support for those affected by Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias.
We need your support to meet this match. Please give today!
