Shopping for a Cause

Christmas is right around the corner and many people have already started their Christmas shopping! Every year I like to make a list of who all I will be buying for. I want to make sure I give everyone a holiday gift that has a special meaning behind it.



This year I have done a lot of my shopping online. I recently came across the Alzheimer's Foundation of America eStore. Buy making your online purchase though the Alzheimer's eStore, a portion of the proceeds will got to benefit the Alzheimer's Foundation of America. What better way to shop online and help out the Alzheimer's foundation all at the same time.

While finding a cure for Alzheimer's is important; it is also very important for the proper care to be given to those currently suffering from the disorder. Sometimes it is difficult for people to make a cash donation, but with this opportunity everyone is able to help at no extra cost. What greater way to help give back, just by purchasing items online though the Alzheimer's Foundation eStore.

The care that is administered to Alzheimer's patients can be both very draining and costly. Patients with Alzheimer's often can't remember their loved ones. The cost of a living facility or a full time care giver can be very expensive. The Alzheimer's Foundation of America has developed Excellence In Care to help facilities set the nationwide standard of excellence for the care of patients who are suffering from Alzheimer's or another form of dementia.

So when you are sitting at home drinking your hot chocolate by the fire and shopping online, remember to shop through the Alzheimer's Foundation eStore. Your purchase can help make a difference in a way that you may never know.
