Salutation to all those who suffer from Alzheimer’s/ Dimentia , you are not forgotten . Your life is valuable.

Upon seeing many friends on FB, donating to Alzheimer’s Assosiation , I decided to inquire what their services were. 

Apparently it is a hotline that just gives information out to individuals that are already going through a very hard time and need immediate assistance.  They then direct the public to multiple umbrellas of nonprofits,  all claiming to raise money to END Alzheimer’s. 

Anyone who knows of this disease knows that there is no End to it. It slowly deteriotes the individual towards their grave . 

They do not help individuals with any care. They are money raising humanoids . Robotic , repetitive and collect their information directly from the public’s most vulnerable ,personal and private stories and add your stories to their archives. 

They  do not offer a cure .





They do not offer help, the only suggestion they gave me was to look into a home and lock my father away .

The operator who called herself a “ specialist” specialized in talking me into a very emotional state and once I started to cry due to my father Alzheimer’s, she asked both my name and his and our last name and private info and while in tears I gave all my intimation  as if I was hypnotized or in a trace . 

I never received any emails guiding me to other non profits etc. I then learned that all of my private information and demographics were being collected for alz.org , they can file for personal grants in our name towards their hotline!

I called and spoke to several people and begged them to remove my information . I begged them ! I do not allow this Assosiation to collect funds in our name .

The third”specialist” was extremely rude to me talked over me told me to be quiet and then hang up on me by saying that she need to take another call.

This hotline , Alzheimer’s Assosiation ‘s nonprofit organization receives 300 million dollars a year from individuals. They also collect various grants towards their hotline, stating that “we are here to support you and all your emotions 24/7 “ 

I called back the next day early in the morning , the superviser refused to remove my data . She said that I had volunteered my private information and now it is part of their data ! 

I did not voulonteer any information towards their grant . I was emotional and felt that the “special operator “was being empathic. In my emotional state l,  notfor one second, realized that she was a predator collecting my demographics and data .

I called a fourth time today and they all refused to remove my private information from their data base .

I am now a target, a victim , helpless in battling a giant nonprofit that earns more than 300 million dollars a year .

I researched online and learned that the CEO of Alzheimer's Assosiation, alz.org   Harry John’s who founded Alzheimer’s   Assosiation in 1980’s pays himself a salary of 2.3 million dollars a year ! 

Again , I repeat ! The founder of Alzheimer’s Assosiation is a millionaire.

None of your donations ever touch the victim’s hands . Never. The money raised is spent on fancy galas, celebrity events , plastic bracelets , attractive men and women wearing thigh purple shirts claiming to end Alz . 

My 90 year old father never gets to benifit from any of the public’s donations . Non of the seniors benefit .

Unfortunately there is no such a thing as ending Alzheimer’s. We the caregivers and the victims of this disease need care, support , monetary assistance towards a better quality of life in these difficult stages of life . Yet we do not get help .We get preyed upon by these agencies and organizations and they will refuse to set us free , erase our data , remove our names.

Alzheimer’s Assosiation abused us. They used us towards  their own personal monetary gain .

All the funds raised is circulated through various charities and the public never gets to touch a penny.

I have been verbally and emotionally abused and now our privacy is at risk. 

I do not give Alzheimer’s Assosiation permission to apply for grants towards their company in our name .

It is indeed June and June is Alzheimer’s Awarness month . This is when they start crowfunding from the vulnerable public who keeps donating due to the loss of a loved one.

It is my intention to raise awarness for the public . It is time that we take these matters into our own hands .There is ample of information  on you tube and the internet about Alzheimer’s. We do not need these charlatan non profits with their false  claim of 24/7 support .

Reach our to your neighbors! reach out to the elderly!  Volunteer your time, money, gift, directly to individuals who are suffering . Grow as a community. Help the helpless , do not make the CEO s like Harry Johns millionaires. 

Help the old people directly , make someone ‘s miserable life brighter . 

Literally reach out and touch someone , give the elderly hugs and love . Do not be scared . You can do it . Alzheimer’s patients are viewed as empty ghosts or monsters . No one wants to talk to them . Everyone has dimissed them as senile and has forgotten about them .

They are thrown in homes , heavily medicated, immobilized and gravely ignored and left to die .

Build bridges with others who are suffering . Power to the people! there is much we can do .

Do not give your money , your data , your private information to Alzheimer’s Assosiation in the the name of ending Alzheimer’s .

Alzheimer’s Assosiation is a sham , a disgrace and absolute disappointment a predatory, condescending rouge to deter you from doing your human civil duties and helping your community.

We the people are more powerful if we come together and comfort each other .

Do not leave it up to Alzheimer’s Assosiation . They cannot end Alzheimer’s. All they do is collect money and offer mediocre information that is available online for free .

You Keep Making The Same Mistake

AUTHOR: Jim - (United States)

POSTED: Friday, June 14, 2019

If you really that interested in keeping your information private, then you would NOT have given all of your information to this organization in the first place.  However, I digress....

The mistake you keep making is to get overly emotional about everything.  You stated:  The operator who called herself a “ specialist” specialized in talking me into a very emotional state and once I started to cry due to my father Alzheimer’s, she asked both my name and his and our last name and private info and while in tears I gave all my intimation  as if I was hypnotized or in a trace .  I mean that's just ridiculous.  Nobody can talk you into that situation - you did that on your own.  If you want proof of what I'm talking about - read your complaint - it is an emotional mess that you brought on yourself.

They do not offer a cure.  They aren't offering you a cure.  If you actually took the time to read their 990, they issue scientific grants to end Alzheimers and direct people to organizations they grant funds to - about $260 million just in those areas alone.

I am now a target, a victim , helpless in battling a giant nonprofit that earns more than 300 million dollars a year .  First, you are neither a target, nor a victim.  Call yourself whatever else you want - those words do not describe you.  That's just you in your emotional state.  Second, lots of non-profits collect large amounts of funds and this organization disburse 76.5% of their collected funds to their programs, according to Charity Navigator.  Only 6% of their income is used for General Overhead, which means 94 cents out of every dollar make it to either a program, or used to raise additional funds.  That's very efficient.

I researched online and learned that the CEO of Alzheimer's Assosiation, alz.org   Harry John’s who founded Alzheimer’s   Assosiation in 1980’s pays himself a salary of 2.3 million dollars a year !  The founder of Alzheimer’s Assosiation is a millionaire.  First, he was probably a millionaire prior to founding the organization.  Second, so what?  If he has the talent to found an effective non-profit, why should he not get compensated fairly for his talent?  That's certainly a talent you proven you don't have.

They do not offer help, the only suggestion they gave me was to look into a home and lock my father away .  That would have been my suggestion as well, unless you want to spend every waking moment watching your father slip further and further away until he no longer recognizes you.  And then what?

We the caregivers and the victims of this disease need care, support , monetary assistance towards a better quality of life in these difficult stages of life . Yet we do not get help .We get preyed upon by these agencies and organizations and they will refuse to set us free , erase our data , remove our names.  What you needed was help in better dealing with your father's alzheimer's.  Monetary assistance is not a part of any non-profit's mission.  Giving you money is stupid and inefficient.  Giving money to a community organization that can help far more people for every dollar they give is a far better use of a non-profit's funds.  Putting your father in a home was a much better solution for you and if he didn't provide for himself in case of something like this, is why you're now in this situation and yes, it's his fault.

All the funds raised is circulated through various charities and the public never gets to touch a penny.  The public shouldn't have access to those funds.  I think I already said that.

If there is any lesson you should take from this is that you need to seek psychological assistance as soon as humanly possible.  You are having an impossible time coping with what's happened to you and you need the assistance now to cope with this.  You should call the Alzheimer's organization and see if there is a counselor who can help you with surviving this.  Don't get emotional, just ask for help.
