Mike Forrest, 91, is a veteran living among the isolation ALMA was built to fight. He's watched friends and neighbors lose their independence, and their savings, to loneliness and fraud. He self-funded ALMA's development. His volunteer team has found a solution that works.

Now he's asking your help for him to reach the most vulnerable, those who need ALMA the most. His goal is to prevent another senior from succumbing and losing everything to these epidemics. No senior should be left behind when it comes to connection, protection, and care.

ALMA my friend is available English, with a Spanish versions available soon. We are determined to honor our commitment of keeping the service free for those who need it most and are most vulnerable.

What ALMA Does — Free for Seniors and Veterans

• ALMA Guard — continuously updated protection that notices scam patterns and connects the senior to a trusted advisor, without ever adjudicating to them.

• Caring Companion — daily conversation that reduces isolation, not a chatbot that forgets who you are.

• Evolving Memory — remembers what matters to build a real, ongoing relationship over time.

• Privacy by Design — no medical, financial, or sensitive data ever stored. Non-negotiable.
