Story
The Forget Me Not Appeal is about more than raising awareness it's about raising funds to give people living with dementia, and their carers, the practical support they need right now.
Your donation could help someone like Christine, who cares for her husband Roy.
When Roy became ill, life seemed to turn upside-down. I didn't know how to approach it. At first, he would forget words. But now he can hardly communicate with me, and I have carers to help shower him. They talk about lockdown but I've been in permanent lockdown since Roy became ill as were so isolated. Friends don't come anymore as they don't know what to say. And the man I love is disappearing a little more every day.
For Christine, the Companion Calls service was a lifeline. We're so grateful that supporters like you made it possible for us to be there for her:
My Companion Caller Mel rings every week and never misses. We have such a laugh. I'm so involved with Roy's dementia every day, but Mel makes me feel human again.
Thank you for your donation to the Forget Me Not Appeal today. We look forward to seeing you wear your badge.
