Do you know the one, the only, Regina (AKA Gina, Reg,etc) Internicola? This beautiful, amazing, kind, funny,loving, caring, sweet, loveable lady is someone that would help anyone in a pinch (even people she doesn't know! Ask any street performer from Rome, NY to Orland,FL and everywhere she has ever been) and now, she and millions of other people like her need our support, love, care and attention.
You see, she has Alzheimer's. Now don't define her by her diagnosis, because she can still belt out White Rabbit, and dance her arse off to Black Betty, however, it's getting a little more difficult for other aspects in her life. More medications, and doctors appointments and repeated questions, and sometimes not feeling quite herself and she doesn't remember why. It sucks to watch her go through that.
My mom was a single mom, raised her jerk of a daughter (me), put herself through college, got the dream job she always wanted, worked in facilities helping people as she always wanted to. She helped raise Maci, and married the love of her life too all while taking care of everyone around her. She had breast cancer, and had a stroke from the medication meant to help her fight the cancer. Our house burned down. We lost my Gram, but she stayed strong and she lived life as full as she could!
Then about 5-7 years ago, things started to change. She started forgetting. And her moods changed and she stopped working. Her doctor refused to help us, so we fired them and got new doctors. She was then diagnosed with ALZ.
That brings us to today, this moment, I ask for help, once again to raise funds/awareness for Alzheimer's research and to maybe one day, find a cure! Please help me help my mom and others like her save as much time as they can. Until we can reverse this disease..
Your support means the world to me. Thank you in advance.
Love,
Bri
