About Us
S.D.S. HELPS...
I have encountered three Generations of my Loved Ones who were affected by Alzheimer's and Dementia. I realized that my Purpose is to Help my Loved Ones and others who are suffering from Alzheimer's/Dementia. I chose to start a non-profit in honor of both my parents who I lost to Dementia. Being an only child and the sole caregiver, it was heart-wrenching to watch my parents decline before my eyes. Finding out that my mother’s youngest sister passed away from dementia as well as my grandmother and now her youngest brother was recently diagnosed with it as well. Knowing that the age that which people can be diagnosed is lowering, I wanted to bring awareness to this disease that can begin as early as in their 50s. After my mother was diagnosed, I reached out to others who had gone through the experience of having to care for a loved one with Dementia. During this time, I learned that many Elderly Seniors suffering from Dementia were becoming homeless. In addition, these Seniors do not have access to healthcare. This was the inspiration for establishing my Foundation; SDS Helps. My goal is to provide housing and essential services for our Seniors who are suffering from this degenerative disease.
