Holiday Shopping for a Good Cause
The holidays are coming whether we are ready or not! Most of us probably have some gift shopping we’d like to get done. What better holiday gift than one that benefits the Alzheimer’s Foundation of America? You’re giving gifts already, right? Why not give a gift that not only gives to those on your holiday list, but to every life that is touched by Alzheimer’s.
Alzheimer’s affects more than 5 million Americans already, that alone is a huge number. Can you imagine how many people across the world it is affecting? Alzheimer’s destroys brain cells, causing problems with memory, thinking and behavior severe enough to affect work, lifelong hobbies or social life. Can you imagine what it would be like to not be able to enjoy your favorite hobbies like sewing and cross stitch? Or to be without your friends? It would be like being lost, in yourself. That’s what having Alzheimer’s can be like. But we can help. Technology is finding new things every day in the medical world and every little bit helps.
The gifts available at the Alzheimer’s Foundation of America eStore are beautiful and usable. The pendant and bracelet are something that you can wear every day to show your support for this great cause. They’ll go with your casual wear and your business wear alike, so don’t be afraid to get one for yourself to wear and show off, and one for everyone on your gift list.
While you’re on the Alzheimer’s Foundation of America site, be sure to check out “A Quilt to Remember!” The AFA Quilt to Remember pays tribute to all those who have passed or are living with dementia, and their families, so that others can recognize the reality and enormity of this disease, and acknowledge that we stand united for optimal care and a cure. You can create a quilt panel in honor of someone close to you that has suffered with Alzheimer’s or you can buy additional quilt themed merchandise to further support Alzheimer’s research.
