This project is very close to my heart. I want to provide a monthly get together for people with the onset of dementia. There are plenty of clubs and associations for those with severe dementia but nothing for the early stages. I don't want people to get to that latter stage of their life without having experienced some really good times.
Most people who know me and my family will know that this is a real situation that we are dealing with ourselves. Our father has this debilitating disease and we see decline most days, the confusion, the bewilderment and the vacancy in the eyes. It is very very scary for those that have it, and just as scary for those that have to sit back and watch their loved ones disappear. Having said this, my father still has a zest for life and loves socialising.
As a caring community we can give something back to the community and give someone their special day.
I am asking people make a gift towards what could be someone's last chance to kick up their heels and have a good time. I would say to create memories, but sadly this will not be the case.
Please help the LIVE FOR TODAY project. It will be one of the best and most satisfying things you could ever do. I will give the time, if you will give some cash.
It's just to help fund anyone that cannot reasonably afford to pay on the day, (assessment will be given) so that they don't miss out on these fabulous get togethers. It will also go towards little extras like future transport, birthday cakes, balloons and fun things.
We will be looking to put on a Christmas Party for our members in December and will go towards this too.
I hope you will find this as much a relevant and worthwhile cause as I do.
Many many thank you's in advance, from myself and the person/s you help with your donation.
