Why should you become a Monthly Donor?

Patti is a compassionate caregiver and supporter of the Alzheimer Society of Saskatchewan, who knows the impact of dementia and chose to give back by becoming a monthly donor.  

“George was diagnosed with dementia, probably Alzheimer’s Disease, in June 2015 at the age of 69.  Even with our suspicions, our children and I were shocked.

Support Group made me realize that I was not alone on this journey and that we were all there to support each other and offer strategies that worked. It was a very safe environment where tears or laughter were understood.  I still have good friends from this group.

As the disease progressed, George lost recognition of our children and even me. I think he knew I was someone special, but the concept of wife was not there.

The diagnosis did not have to be the end of travelling and enjoyment.  We took a bus tour to Iceland, California, the Maritimes, Alberta and Mexico with our family.

I am also thankful for all the educational opportunities the Alzheimer Society offers and how staff are available to speak with you at any time. 

With so many new diagnoses happening, the Alzheimer Society becomes more important every day.  You can’t go on this journey without the help of others, and I want to make sure that others are able to get the same support I did. For these reasons, I chose to give back to the society by becoming a monthly donor and volunteering with the Early-Stage Support Group. Not only do I want to help support programs and services offered by the Alzheimer Society, but I also want my donations to help with research.

Maybe one day we can find a cure for this.”
