Why CaringKind?
“I’m particularly passionate about the relentless work and tireless dedication of CaringKind to champion the unsung heroes, the caretakers who make the daily lives of victims of Alzheimers and dementia better. My Grandmother who had been 100% alert all her life living in Nigeria, decided to visit her family members in New York while in her 80s! She abruptly left after developing dementia during her stay here and has since passed away over 15 yrs ago now. She was my rock!
I wish she had the pleasure of meeting my husband who has dedicated most of his career in biotechnology, science research of finding ways to curb or cure Alzheimer’s all together.”
