For Their Thoughts Foundation

CFTC Relief and Resources Grant Recipients

Our mission is to bring hope and relief directly to the families responsible for the care of their loved one who has a degenerative brain disease leading to dementia.

Dementia, such as Alzheimer's or Frontotemporal Dementia (FTD) leaves the family feeling isolated, overwhelmed and unseen. The depression and mortality rate of caregivers is reported to be 63% higher compared to non-caregivers of the same age. The root of the issue is not the stress alone but the lack of relief, or any kind of roadmap or community. Our programs arm families with care navigation assistance, one-time financial aid and education focused on connection and understanding. This includes a hands-on immersive education experience for inside-out understanding of what it's like to live with dementia. Together, these programs ensure families are seen, heard and not alone.

We believe dementia deserves to be seen and addressed with the same compassion and urgency other terminal illnesses are.
