Dear Friend,
Andrea Tallent Spivak
Chief Development Officer
As we enter 2026, I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude for being part of the CaringKind community. Whether you’ve supported us in the past or engaged with us more recently, your connection truly matters.
Although the calendar has turned, the need facing families impacted by Alzheimer’s and related dementias has not. As I write this, we are stepping into a new year with greater urgency than ever for your support.
Every three seconds, someone in the world develops dementia. Families continue to struggle – often quietly – and increasingly are turning to CaringKind for help. Our Helpline is experiencing an unprecedented surge in crisis calls. Caregivers tell us they’re exhausted, overwhelmed, and afraid. People living with dementia share the fear of being forgotten.
And every day, we’re here to answer those calls. But we can’t do it alone.
Your gift – made today, at the start of this new year – will ensure that no one must navigate Alzheimer’s or related dementias without the care, guidance, and dignity they deserve.
For example:
$100 can cover the materials needed for those impacted to get the resources necessary to aid them along this journey
$250 can provide a family with personalized, one-on-one counseling and support
$500 can help fund Early-Stage engagement program enrollment for someone impacted by Alzheimer’s or related dementias
$1,000 can fund a full year of support group access for one family
Please don’t wait. Every contribution, no matter the size, makes a real difference. It ensures that when a frightened caregiver picks up the phone, someone is there to answer with compassion and expertise.
If you haven’t had the opportunity to make your Year-End gift, there is still time – and your support now will have an immediate and powerful impact.
Thank you for standing with us. Together, we can ensure that no one faces Alzheimer’s or dementia alone.
With heartfelt urgency and gratitude,
Andrea Tallent Spivak
Chief Development Officer, CaringKind
