Hi there,

For most of our lives, there was no way for people like us to connect with one another. No community for families like ours. This disease, these genetic mutations, were even more difficult to navigate because we felt so alone. 

That’s why, five years ago, we started Youngtimers. It was time: time for connection, for support, for community. Time to stop feeling alone. 

And what a difference it has made! Five years of meeting folks with stories like ours, people who understand what we're going through because they've lived it as well. Five years of gatherings, support groups, seminars, education, and advocacy specifically for us, not the Alzheimer's population at large. Five years of facing this unique disease together instead of alone.

As we mark this milestone, we'd love to invite you to be part of the Youngtimers Circle, our first-ever monthly giving program. In honor of our 5th anniversary, a generous supporter of our community has offered to match every dollar given (up to $5,000) within the next 5 weeks, making this a meaningful moment to give if you're willing and able!

If you’re able to give, your support will make a real difference to Youngtimers sustainability. You can change or stop your monthly donation at any time.

We are grateful for each one of you, and for what this community has come to mean to so many. Thank you.

Here’s to five years together, and many more to come!

Marty, Lindsay, & Alicia

$5/month to celebrate 5 years.

We have 5 weeks to match a $5,000 donation. Five dollars a month - a simple recurring gift to mark our fifth anniversary - becomes ten when you give now. Give any amount that feels right to you. Every dollar goes directly toward sustaining the support, education, and advocacy that FAD families count on. 

The Youngtimers Circle is our first-ever monthly giving program. Simple, sustainable and community driven is our goal. This match was made specifically to help us launch it, and we'd love your help making the most of it!
