If this is your first time on our site,
I'm so glad you found us. Since you’re here, chances
are you need help, hope or just to take a breath.
It was my dream when Jamie Huysman (our
executive director and my good friend) and I co-founded
The Leeza Gibbons Memory Foundation that we would offer
a safe setting for all families who are dealing with loved
ones diagnosed with a memory disorder. We are pleased to
offer Leeza’s Place, a community-based oasis for
caregivers and the newly diagnosed.
Before
we lost my mother to the thief of memories called Alzheimer's
disease, she asked me to tell her story and make
it count. As she now hangs on in the final stages of
the disease, I'm hopeful she knows that her spirit, love
and energy are being used to create a web of support
for families. After 30 years of working in radio and
television, I now have the most important story of my
life to tell - the story of all the millions of families
like mine who know the frustration and heartache of memory
disorders.
Please join us in our efforts
to offer comfort and care while we work towards a cure.
We must ensure that those who are forgetting are not being
forgotten.
Blessings,
Leeza |
