A Violet For Remembrance- Helping The Cause

My mother passed away from Alzheimer’s disease 3 years ago and her death had a profound affect on my life. There is not one day that goes by that I do not think of her. I miss her terribly. After her passing I became very determined and devoted to help find a cure for this horrific disease. I wanted to do my part to help those individuals, families, friends, relatives and caregivers by raising awareness and funds to help the Alzheimer’s Association care and support programs with finding a cure. I was just not sure how. After much thought and careful consideration about the type of project I wanted to do I decided to design a bracelet in memory and in honor of my mother called Violets for Spring. For the past 2 years, I have been working closely with my local Alzheimer’s Chapter (MA/NH) donating a portion of sales from these bracelets and other jewelry items from the Violets line to Alzheimer’s Research and support programs. These handmade bracelets have sold all over the country and I have received so many positive letters and emails from people offering their own stories and telling me what a difference I am making to their lives. In addition, my town paper did a story on my project and Alzheimer’s Centers have invited me to there facilities. Because of the success from this project and the money I have raised I am trying to expand my efforts to inform the public about these bracelets and bring this project to a national level. Finding a cure for Alzheimer’s disease is very important to me. This effort is truly coming from the bottom of my heart. I sincerely want to help give back to those that have helped me while at the same time help find a cure for this debilitating disease one bracelet at a time.
