Dear Ricardo:
Key decisions will be made on Alzheimer's care next week and we need your help to fight more cuts. Please email your legislators by November 12.

Tell them that Azheimer's programs have been cut 10% this year. Needed family services have already been lost.

Don't forget:

Email your state legislators now. Stop more cuts to Alzheimer's programs.

Forward this message to family and friends >>

Background
On Nov 5, the Governor called a Special Session of the Legislature. The amount of funding for programs that help families living with Alzheimer’s are threatened, including the Alzheimer’s Day Care Resource Centers, the Alzheimer’s Research Centers and the Caregiver Resource Centers.

These programs have already been cut 10% this year.

Another cut will mean:
*Many more family caregivers will not get respite, support and education
*Many more people with memory loss will not get an accurate diagnosis
*Many more people with Alzheimer’s and other dementias will not be able to attend a day care program that understands their needs.

Thank you!
As an advocate, your voice makes a difference for our lawmakers.
