#GinnyGives. Our programs bring HOPE, and Grace! As one family member said "These last 6 months my mom has really declined but STILL when she was given beautiful, AMAZINGLY alive looking, little Grace to hold, she held her close and immediately started rocking her and was soon vocalizing/“singing” to her! Made us who were witnessing this a little teary to observe that “mama” role rise to the surface. I selfishly wish Grace had been “born” earlier for my mother to enjoy but we are GRATEFUL that Grace is there and will give deep enjoyment and, in many cases, connection with precious memories in their past to so many." A North Carolina-based retirement community is bringing joy and comfort to their residents with a life-like doll program underwritten by the Dementia Society of America. Thanks to the team for their efforts to enrich the lives of those living with Dementia through our non-medical sensory programs. Follow us on Facebook and/or donate online now to help us expand this "newborn" program (enter "Baby Grace" in Honor /Memorial Section) ... www.dementiasociety.org/donate
