The Alzheimer Society is putting hearts, minds, and hands to an inspired role. The help those diagnosed with dementia and Alzheimer’s, as well as the people who love and care for them. We are excited to share that thousands of your donor dollars are being directed to their work.
“Dad has been moved into a nursing home.” These are familiar words as our senior donors navigate the unsettling life change of relinquishing their car keys. Families lovingly tend the emotional work of managing a loved one’s estate.
Letting go of a vehicle is not easy. Your role in supporting your Mom or Dad with what feels like the loss of independence is a weighty one, too!
Stories of the old jalopy that was used to teach the kids to drive often emerge at the time of donation. Tales of a motorhome that travelled coast to coast are noted. The boats that have given several generations many joyful memories shout reminders of the heart, humor, and love that the independence of a driver’s license and a set of keys can afford. It can be a healing and heartening thing to honor Mum or Dad by seeing their old car’s next ride benefit a charity that has been meaningful. Furthermore, this is testament to the memories and relationships their vehicle represents.
