My Nonprofit Reviews

Review for , , ,
My Dad was diagnosed with Alzheimer's in 2005. This is the kind of disease that makes you feel powerless to help. My mom was doing all the day to day care-giving, and although we tried to help, many of us were too far away to do much. Seeing him slip away farther and farther with each visit was heartbreaking. When I saw that Ami had started AAQI and was asking for quilts for the Piece by Piece exhibit, an idea immediately popped into my head, and with the help of family and friends, I was able to create that quilt. I was delighted when it was chosen for the exhibit, and have been a faithful volunteer ever since. I love the fact that this is a grassroots, all volunteer organization and there was no overhead or salaries taking a percentage of the money I raised. At a point where Dad's disease allowed me little I could do to help, I found solace in helping the AAQI raise money for research to cure a disease that leaves people helpless. I am a firm believer in the mission of the AAQI and will continue to help in any way I can.
