Listen UP! In 2012, Betty was celebrated as iHeart Radio’s Woman of the Week. Read UP! Costco’s July 2009 Connection magazine titled, Making a Difference, praised Betty’s Love among global charities founded by Costco members “doing their part” and “changing the world.” [Listen, Read UP via links, above; check back for UPdates!]

Think UP! Betty’s Love was a ‘special guest’ on Dublin’s RTÉ during Queen Elizabeth II’s historic 2010 visit to Ireland. That same year, America’s leading women’s magazine shared “Betty’s Love Story” in a full-page feature of Betty’s Tips™ about Love, laughter, memory, and how mother and daughter “discovered hope” on their brain-breaking and JOY-boosting journey together. (Woman’s World, February 22, 2010)

Look UP! Betty’s Heartquarters’ local newspaper, The Doings, lauded Betty’s Love “providing a sacred space” wherein families found much-needed support, information, and respite in an historic restored chapel in suburban Chicago. (Pioneer Press, February 2011)

“Proven. Practical. UPlifting!” Betty’s daughter, M, is an Emmy® Award-winning journalist, author, advisor, and corporate-learning consultant. In 1982, for her own family, M began researching brains, Alzheimer’s disease, other forms of dementia, By 1999, she was facilitating learning programs for families like hers, always for free, with specific focus on families’ holistic health in brain, body, emotion, and Spirit. In 2006 collaborations with interfaith church, charity, and community leaders, M’s ADvocacy evolved into an Illinois 501c3 nonprofit known globally as Betty’s Love Alzheimer’s Charities. BLAC won several grants, attracted dozens of volunteers, inspired thousands of donors’ generosity, and earned five-figure followers “the old-fashioned way.” From BLAC’s “Heartquarters” in a chapel and in churches, libraries, senior centers, and care homes across Chicagoland, Betty’s Love served families worldwide ~ individually, in hosted programs and weekly events, and via symposia featuring global leaders in faith and brain research.

“No family is ever turned away….” In November 2012 ~ pending restrictions by a new board regards serving families in need always freely and wherever in the world they lived ~ BLAC’s original board voted unanimously to dissolve the nonprofit charity. Still? Betty’s Love endeavors to propagate Betty’s Faith, Hope, JOY, and Unconditional Love. M remains compelled to defy fake news and ‘doom’n’gloom’ stories still unconscionably propagated in 2020 by fundraisers like Alz.org, research hoarders, drug companies, corporate lobbyists, and political misleaders.

Dancing in Paradise since 2005, Betty still inspires M’s ministry, pro-bono pastoral care, and passionate ADvocacy for UPlifting families’ Minds and Spirits to find JOY whilst on cognitive, mental-health, caregiving, end-of-life, and grief journeys…-with-Love. M’s promise in her spiritual and pastoral practices ~ and, please God, extending the legacy of Betty’s Beauty-full Soul into perpetuity:

“Befitting Mom’s Love-as-ACTS of Kindness, Courage, Patience, enCouragement, Faith, Grace…: NO family is turned away for inability to pay.”

What do you need? Ask UP! Meantime, remember: You never journey alone. Ever. Forever, just like ‘The’ Betty: Love IS ~ in a very Present Tense!

What do families deserve to know? A lot!

Betty’s Love ensures families get what we need at every stage of brain-health journeys ~ as quick-changing as Chicago’s Lake Michigan ~ and through every experience of what ‘The’ Betty’s youngest child, M, calls, simply, Thinking Not Working.™ M is a three-times granddaughter and six-times niece of Alzheimer’s disease and dementia. She first ADvocated for Elder Care-with-Love at age 16 ~ begging nursing-home caregivers to pay attention to Betty’s Mother, her Nannie. “Please sing with her. Hold her hand. Comb her hair. She loves that. Simply touch her kindly, won’t you? Do, and I promise you’ll find her smile. She’s still IN there!”
