ItSoWell The seasons of My Life
Donation protected
As many of you know Dementia is a cause that is close to me and I feel it’s important to raise awareness, this is why I am going to help ItSoWel (Italian Social Welfare Organisation) who will be developing a Sensory Stimulus Book for Italians with dementia which is called “The Seasons of my life through Italian eyes”.
It is hard enough to connect with an elderly person from a diverse cultural background , but how do you connect with them if they also have Dementia? Can you imagine a book which will be interactive, creating smells, sound and visual stimulus which will awaken the senses and stimulate memories? I can’t wait to see the end result!
ItSoWel need to raise $10,000.00 to make this project a reality. I have set up this Gofund me page and am asking the local community to donate to this wonderful project that people diagnosed with Dementia will benefit from. Even though this resource will be developed specifically for Italians, it can be used as a pilot for other communities.
All donations will be appreciated and acknowledged by ItSoWel. Let’s make a difference, especially in our local community!
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask.
