About Betty’s Love

We are called Betty’s Love for two reasons. 1.  ‘The’ Betty did ordinary things with extraordinary Love – despite her 25-year journey through Alzheimer’s.
2.  We believe – are proving every day – that the only thing someone with cognitive impairment needs from everyone is:  Love As an Action Verb.™
Founded by a daughter, niece (six times), and granddaughter (twice) of Alzheimer’s and dementia, Betty’s Love Alzheimer’s Charities is now a worldwide grassroots movement helping families like yours.  We don’t fund research.  We don’t lobby.  Rather, in everything we do, we help and honor families like yours – and 52 more every hour – living with Alzheimer’s, dementia, and anything that causes Thinking not Working.™

Betty’s Love CAN help your family, too! Wherever in the world you live – in person, by phone, via the Internet, and soon via eBooks & downloadable apps –
we offer practical, proven, positive programs and services so your family knows, too:  There is so much families CAN do to boost cognition, connections, and quality of Life and so much JOY we find every day!

YOU can help Betty’s Love grow!

Help our grassroots movement keep changing brains, lives, and the world … one family like yours at a time!
Please donate what you can today.  There are a dozen ways or more to give – every $5.20 counts!
And every donation helps us help 52 more families like yours!
Why 52? Read more.
