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 #endalz

Changemaker Challenge Award
https://www.bezosfamilyfoundation.org/story/celebrating-changemakers-with-big-ideas-and-bright-futures
The Changemaker Challenge Award celebrated 6 youths selected from 57 countries and all 50 states. I was very honored to have been selected. Ordinary youth can create change when they are faced with challenges.

In 2021, I received an amazing honor. I received the Power of Children Award from the Children's Museum of Indianapolis. I shared the national honor with 6 other youth members who have acted as social impact leaders. There is a permanent exhibit at the museum featuring the young people who have received the award. We hope it inspires children and encourages them to make a difference in the world!

How Ottawa Charge's Zoe Boyd navigated family tragedy to achieve pro hockey
This story resonates with me. I was a young caregiver to my grandmother, and Zoe was a caregiver to her mother who suffered traumatic brain injury.
We need more stories for youth members. We are not alone.
LOVE ALWAYS REMAINS
