We, you know, like I said, we spent the first few years feeling scared and sad and didn't know what to do. And then eventually we were just like, I have to start talking about it. So we went to a few events and then a friend came to us and is like, let's let's throw a variety show and we'll raise money for Alzheimer's in honor of your mom, which was fantastic. incredibly moving.

And so I think that helped us sort of form the idea of let's create something where young people can have a voice and they can feel like they are part of giving back. And like I said, having some sort of control over something that they don't have control over. And so we just sort of looked at our own situation when we started raising money as an organization.

And we're like, how can we actually help people today in this moment?

Yeah. So that's how we started our grant program in which we provide respite care to people who are caring for their loved ones at home. And we read applications every month and the stories are unbelievably real and often quite sad and dire. And people are, you know, doing everything they can with what they have, but it's often not enough to care for someone with this disease. And they need help.

They need respite. They need a break. And so that's where part of our money goes into awarding these respite grants to people who are caring for their loved ones at home. We also created a lot of support groups. I was part of a support group for young people. The first support group I went to was like just a general group.
