My mothers name is Mary Lou Cline (M’Lou) and she was affected with this, as well as some many people. For this reason it is one of our causes. I saw firsthand how this disease affects the person who has it as well as the rest of their family.
Again, as our charity progresses, we want to be place for resources, regarding information about these causes and a way for people to show support and encouragement for everyone that has been touched by one or more of these causes. If you have or know someone that has been touched and affected by one of these causes, please let us know your story.
We also plan to spot light a different cause each month and share the story of a person or family from this cause, here on our website.
In a partnership with timewithmichaelandme youtube channel we plan to showcase a person or family from this cause as a way to high light them.
Also the timewithmichaelandme youtube channel will provide a way for kids to learn about (alphabet, number, colors, shapes, about space and planets, some fun experiments that you can try at home also, as well fun activities like Home Depot kids builds, playing with bubbles, to making a homemade wind chime, interacting with insects in our backyard, fun surprises and so much more).
We have also set up a GoFundMe page Michaelshares to assist us in raising money to get things going for our charity. If you can and are able to please help us to by donating, we would really appreciate that.
Here is some information regarding Dementia/Alzheimer’s.
Dementia is not a specific disease. It’s an overall term that describes a group of symptoms associated with a decline in memory or other thinking skills severe enough to reduce a person’s ability to perform everyday activities. Alzheimer’s disease accounts for 60 to 80 percent of cases.
Alzheimer’s disease is an irreversible, progressive brain disorder that slowly destroys memory and thinking skills, and, eventually, the ability to carry out the simplest tasks. In most people with Alzheimer’s, symptoms first appear in their mid-60s. … Alzheimer’s is the most common cause of dementia among older adults.
