Question:
My Aunt/Godmother has Alzheimer's. She's at the point now where she doesn'tknow who I am and will not except any sort of gift from anyone for Christmasor birthday, as she doesn't like anything "new".

Rather than give her a gift for these occasions as we all did in the pastonly to have to return them the next day, I want to take the money I wouldhave used on the gift and give it to a charity that supports Alzheimerresearch or care giving.

Can anyone suggest a good charity where my money will be of the mostassistance?

Answer: The Alzheimer association. This is the link for the national one. Thereare individual chapters in each state.

I think you are doing a very good thing.

It sounds like the Alzheimer's Association isthe way to go. I see there is also an Alzheimer's Foundation, but it lookslike the Association is organization of choice.

My Aunt lives in Staten Island, NY, while I am up in Massachusetts. Iassume it's best to give to the local chapter where she is - ie. New York.
