We're proud to shine a light on our very own Central Valley volunteer, Floripez Mitchell. Since Floripez’s mother was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease, she has been her primary caregiver. “Taking care of my mother is hard,” Floripez shares. “It’s changed me in ways I’m still processing. Even in my most exhausted moments, I’m here.”

Floripez’s told a close friend that her mother had been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. Her friend directed her to the Association.

Since then, Floripez has become a passionate volunteer, embracing every opportunity to make a difference. “It’s important to me to share what I’ve learned so others know they’re not alone.”

As an advocate, Floripez speaks directly to legislators, sharing her story and urging them to support families like hers. “I treasure the moments after I’ve shared my story when people come up to me, thank me and tell me how blessed I am to be doing so well taking care of my mother.”

For Floripez volunteering is more than an act of service — it’s a lifeline. “It’s so gratifying to be a volunteer,” she says. “We never know when it will be us needing the help.”
