Brian's Song

45 years ago their love story began. Five years ago a diagnosis took their breath away. Almost one year ago three police officers forcibly removed the 60 year old, blond haired, blue-eyed beauty from their home in handcuffs after she had attacked the love of her life in a fit of dementia. Since first being removed from her home, she has been in and out of treatment facilities as her need for full-time quality care has only intensified. She has had two more police interventions, been removed from facilities due to the “intensity” of her condition. She has been isolated at a state health mental institute, exacerbating her dementia and paranoia. Most recently she was being treated in a geriatric psychiatric unit of a state facility. Her health demands a long-term memory care/dementia care facility that will not resort to calling 911 every time an “episode” occurs sending her back to the state mental hospital. The disease has already robbed her of her past, robbed them of their future, and the prohibitive cost will rob him of his ability to see her well-cared for unless others intervene on her behalf. Her care in a private facility costs $6,000-$9,000 per month due to the specialized attention she needs. Our goal is to raise funds to cover 2 years of expenses. This is not tax deductible, as we are not a non-profit company. Your donation will come from the goodness of your heart. His name is Brian. Cynthia is his wife. Never would he have dreamed that when he said, “I do” and “In sickness and in health” would he have seen something like this. Do not underestimate the impact of this disease. It does not get the funding and research it deserves. There are lots of charitable causes you can contribute to, but we hope that somewhere in your heart, you'll find a place for Cynthia. God bless you.
