Dear Friends,

As we begin to comprehend the devastation caused by Hurricane Helene, which so deeply affected our neighbors in Western North Carolina, my heart aches for the families, caregivers, and people living with dementia now facing overwhelming challenges. The storm may have passed, but the road to recovery is long—and for many, the needs are just beginning to surface.

At Dementia Alliance of North Carolina, we know that caregivers, especially those caring for older adults with dementia, are often the ones left to shoulder the heaviest burdens. In the aftermath of this disaster, they are now struggling to secure even the most basic necessities while also trying to support and protect the ones they love.

This is where we can come together. We’re launching a supply drive from now through October 11 to collect essential items for older adults, people living with dementia and their caregivers in the hardest-hit communities. Donations will go directly to the Diaper Bank of NC , Western NC Area Agencies on Aging and other local trusted partners who are working to get supplies into the hands of those who need them most.

I’ll be sharing updates as we continue to learn more, but for now, I hope you’ll consider supporting this drive or contributing directly to one of these trusted organizations in the relief effort. ​

Thank you for your compassion, your generosity, and your unwavering commitment to supporting our community in moments like this. Together, we can make sure no one feels alone in the aftermath of this storm.

To support the supply drive you may order directly from this amazon list (https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/1FXXZPFXYB0JY?ref_=wl_share) or drop items off at our office from now until October 11 ( Monday-Friday) from 9:30 – 4:30. We are located at 9131 Anson Way, Suite 206 Raleigh, NC 27615.

Thanks to Infusion Access Foundation for this graphic, and the reminder that it can take so much more effort and planning to attend events when living with a chronic illness.

It's scary to hear the word cancer, or get diagnosed with a serious or chronic illness! Early detection and treatment are important to improve outcomes, so visit your health care provider regularly, and seek medical care for new or worrying symptoms. Encourage family and friends to do the same. It can be helpful to have someone with you at appointments, too - for stress relief and as a second pair of ears!

"When he told me and said, 'You have cancer,' I didn't hear anything else after that," Stewart said.
