🎁 Triple your holiday impact: Help make a difference for caregivers.

They give so much — but can't do it alone. Please send your support. [( [Alzheimer's Association]( [DONATE NOW]( [Show your support for caregivers during this season of giving]( Dear Friend, In the fight against Alzheimer's disease, caregivers don't ask for recognition — but they deserve it. In 2022, America's caregivers provide an estimated 18 billion hours of care to more than 6 million Americans currently living with Alzheimer's. The care they provide is valued at nearly $340 billion, but they're unpaid — and often overwhelmed. The best way to recognize their efforts is to offer them support. That's why I'm reaching out today because opportunities like our 3X Matching Gift Challenge don't come around often. The Konar Family has generously pledged a $300,000 gift in memory of William and Sheila Konar to advance Alzheimer's research. [Your first gift to join the fight during this matching gift challenge can go 3X as far]( before December 31 — up to a total of $300,000 — to help us continue funding breakthrough research programs and to provide vital care and support. [Donate Now]( We're so grateful you're a part of this special community. If you can [join the fight by making your first gift today]( — at this critical time of year — you'll help us continue to support the millions of people impacted by Alzheimer's and their caregivers. Your generosity is especially needed and meaningful during the holiday season. When you give to this 3X Matching Gift Challenge, you'll not only help advance critical research, you'll also help provide essential support resources, like our [Caregiver Stress Check](. Caregivers don't have the option to simply relax and celebrate the holidays. In fact, this can be a very stressful time for people providing care to a loved one with Alzheimer's. As if juggling holiday logistics with safety precautions isn't difficult enough, they must do it all with a heavy heart as they reflect on how the holidays were before Alzheimer's came into their lives. The [Caregiver Stress Check]( puts essential information, planning support, and emotional well-being resources in one easy-access place. Here are just a few of the topics and issues that many caregivers find valuable, especially as the holiday season approaches: - [Creating your care team.]( During the busier than normal holiday season — and all year long — our personalized online calendars and other tools help caregivers schedule weekly needs and coordinate offers of help from family and friends. - [Talking to kids and teens about Alzheimer's.]( Our Kids & Teens section can better prepare young people for holiday gatherings by helping them understand what is happening to the person living with Alzheimer's. - [Safety.]( Whether traveling for the holidays or preparing for a visit from relatives, caregivers can discover safety measures to take to help the person they care for feel more relaxed and less overwhelmed. We're committed to being a reliable source of support, encouragement and community for caregivers, but we need your help. Your first gift to join the fight today will make an incredible difference to help advance research and provide care and support for the people who need it most as they fight this devastating disease.
