Happy to appear in The Week Junior! My goal of continuing to benefit the Alzheimer's community is a passionate one! A simple puzzle can help bring a sense of accomplishment to people struggling with Alzheimer's disease. Shared jigsaw puzzle solving is a wonderful activity for both caregivers and the loved ones afflicted with Alzheimer's disease. If you would like to volunteer for our organization or donate puzzles please email me at puzzles2remember@gmail.com #puzzletime #endalzHailey Richmanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11225770072690766494noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7689338218325834685.post-35628803105862245432023-05-26T13:08:00.002-04:002023-05-26T13:08:17.630-04:00Marvel Hero Project: Here Comes Hailey<iframe class="BLOG_video_class" allowfullscreen="" youtube-src-id="hPLojn8hV0g" width="400" height="322" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/hPLojn8hV0g"></iframe>

<b>Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI)</b> - Grandma had this stage for a while. The person is forgetful but it is not enough to greatly interfere with their life. Sometimes it is even hard to determine if it is normal aging or a very very early stage of the disease.
<b>Mild Dementia due to Alzheimer's Disease</b> - trouble remembering things they just learned
<b>Moderate Dementia due to Alzheimer's Disease</b> - confusion takes over
<b>Severe Dementia due to Alzheimer's Disease</b> - loss of ability to communicate.
WHAT IS NOT LOST? THE ABILITY TO LOVE YOUR FAMILY MEMBER THROUGH ALL STAGES.
Do not forget that we can still kiss our family member, hold our family member and love them deeply!

Lily Minkoff, age 17, has been delivering puzzles on behalf of PuzzlesToRemember since she was 11 years old. She serves as our Massachusetts Ambassador. Lily is also an award-winning ice skater who also donates her time teaching ice skating to students with disabilities. She is also an accomplished saxophone player.
Lily’s great grandmother had Alzheimer’s disease, so, at a young age, Lily became involved in distributing puzzles to help those with dementia. Lily recently received a large donation of puzzles from Ceaco Puzzles in Newton MA. She plans to deliver them to nursing facilities today and over the next few weeks in honor of Martin Luther King’s birthday.
Thank you, Lily!

Every year we honor Dr. King's memory by doing good deeds on that weekend. We will have our PUZZLE AMBASSADORS bringing puzzles to facilities for people living with Alzheimer's disease, we will be solving puzzles with residents at facilities and spending time there.
We are planning to supply over 3000 puzzles to underserved and diverse communities who are in need of recreational activities to provide stimulation and hopefully slow the progression of the disease.
Here are some shocking statistics that we need to be aware of:
Age-specific prevalence of dementia has been found to be 14% to 100% higher in African- Americans. (While the rates vary among studies, three out of four report these higher prevalence rates.) The cumulative risk of dementia among first- degree relatives of African-Americans who have Alzheimer's disease is 43.7%.
Approximately 13% of Hispanics who are 65 or older have Alzheimer's or another dementia.
At some point my parents would like to have their garage again.

We are so very grateful to Frances Valentine for their EXTREMELY generous donation of 1000 jigsaw puzzles to our organization!
The puzzle on the left is called Bird Is The Word, and the one on the right is Into The Flowers
Both puzzles are very colorful, cheerful and have lovely themes. They will be donated to facilities with independent seniors who are often isolated and need challenging puzzle activities to possibly prevent Alzheimer's in the first place!
In addition, we are going to use the puzzles for a PUZZLE -A-THON to raise money for the CURE ALZHEIMER'S FUND.
We cannot thank Frances Valentine enough for their kindness and generosity on behalf of the Alzheimer's community!
FRANCES VALENTINE is an extraordinary posh and gorgeous boutique on Madison Avenue in NYC.
Here is their website click here
They sell super fashionable clothes and accessories!

"Implementing Puzzle Time in Brazil was a success! I worked with two senior living facilities there—Residencial Longévité and Abrigo Mariana Magalhães (AMMA). Both homes were very receptive towards the project and the residents were amazing as well. In addition to implementation, I trained volunteers there and also the staff members at the homes to continue the project. Also, we were able to consolidate all the puzzles into our baggages so there was no extra baggage fee. Attached below is a google drive link to photos and videos of the visits. Thank you so much for all the puzzles, support, and effort for expanding Puzzle Time!"
If you are visiting another country and would like to start the Puzzle Time there, please email us at Kidcaregivers@gmail.com.
The smiling faces and hugs are all that we need to see what a success it was!

Dear Sir/Madam:
I would like to personally thank your organization through Ms. Trametria Chandler, an employee of VA at Travis Air Force Base in Fairfield, CA. She shared through me a lot of their excess/extra puzzles to our skilled nursing facility, where some of our residents have Alzheimer’s Disease.
Thank you again and more power to your organization.
Sincerely yours,

Alzheimer's disease is progressive and our loved ones will worsen as time goes on. However, they can solve jigsaw puzzles at all stages!
Here are some tips:
1) There are NO rules. You do not have to solve the puzzle! The point is to have fun together.
2) Hand the puzzle piece to the resident.
3) Point to where it belongs.
4) Give the person a chance to put it in, if not, do it for them.
5) TALK - I made conversation about birds, while my puzzle partner listened and sometimes smiled. My volunteer, Sofiya, talked about Monopoly and how she loves to play it.

Congress needs to hear from ALL of us.
PLEASE send your message to your Senator and Representative and let us continue to push for the passage of this critical bill.

Riley's Way Foundation
This week’s Kind Leader Spotlight shines on Hailey Richman!
Taking her own family’s experience with Alzheimer’s and turning it into an opportunity to support others in similar circumstances, Hailey started Kid Caregivers, an organization that supports and empowers children who are acting as caregivers. She partners with Puzzles To Remember, an organization that provides puzzles to facilitate care for people with Alzheimer's disease.
“I want all kids to know that, don't think just because you're a kid that you can't make a difference”
We celebrate her for empowering kids and adults alike to act with compassion and creating a #kindertomorrow!
Check out the Kid Caregivers website to learn more:

"PUZZLE MANIA" is a jigsaw puzzle competition to raise funds for PuzzlesToRemember and KidCaregivers
The jigsaw puzzle competition will have teams of up to 4 persons each. Teams will sit with the same 500-piece puzzle and compete to finish the puzzle first. The winning team will be honored with a trophy. Second and third place teams will be acknowledged and rewarded as well.
Teams could be solo, two people or four people.
The fee to participate will be $25 per person or $100 per team. Organizations and businesses are welcome to sponsor teams if they wish.
This event is fun and light hearted. It will be family-friendly, and children ages 10 are older will be welcomed as team members.
The Event will be held from 1:00 to 4:00 PM.
We are looking for 25 people to act as table hosts and recruit their own four-person teams from friends, neighbors or family members!
Ticket prices will be tax-deductible.
*If you would like to participate but do not have time to recruit your own team or seek one out, let us know and we will do our best to find a table for you.
Date is TBD. It will take place in June or September at Plainview Old Bethpage High School.
If you would like to host a PUZZLE MANIA event in your neighborhood, please email us. We can help you! It is lots of fun!
