More than 5 million Americans now have Alzheimer’s disease. Alzheimer’s destroys brain cells, causing problems with memory, thinking and behavior severe enough to affect work, lifelong hobbies or social life. Alzheimer’s gets worse over time, and it is fatal. It is for these reasons that people should make a step toward prevention and care of this awful disease.

For this PayPerPost Review, there is a new way that we can help the Alzheimer’s patients by purchasing gifts from their new online holiday store. All proceeds from your purchase will benefit the Alzheimer’s Foundation of America.

The Alzheimer’s Store
The Alzheimer’s Internet Store doesn’t offer that much of a selection, but from the items they do offer they do seem to make a good holiday gift. So far they have a sterling silver chain, Bracelet-71/4” braided leather band, or a dvd that shows how patients can be handled with care. Of course girls love jewelry and I couldn’t find a better way to donate and get something nice for it. It’s like taking care of two things off my list at the same time.

A good charity
I wouldn’t have written about this cause if I didn’t believe in it. Alzheimer’s is important, ensuring quality care for those who suffer from the disease must not be overlooked, so the holidays are a good time to gift a donation or buy a gift from the eStore. The thing is, 10% of adults over 65 will end up getting the disease. The Alzheimer’s Foundation Mission Statement is “To provide optimal care and services to individuals confronting dementia, and to their caregivers and families—through member organizations dedicated to improving quality of life.” This means that anything you donate to them, by direct donation or by buying from their e store would directly benefit to the care of Alzheimer’s patients.
