“Our connection was an instant relief. Someone my age knew what I was going through without even having to explain my whole story - there was an immediate sense of validation, visibility and understanding. It was surreal to drop the mask I wear with my peers every day.”

- Janel, daughter of YOD

“Alisha is like a sister to me. She was able to prepare me for things to come while also allowing me to dream about personal ambitions. As I have so often heard from other young people - normal life, ambitions and careers are often put on hold when a young-onset diagnosis joins the family.” 

- Will, son of YOD, Wales

“He 110% understands what I am going through-- The good days and bad with walking with someone we love who has dementia… It is good to talk to someone my own age, outside of my family, friends, and colleagues who wholeheartedly know and understand the situation. I can be strong knowing that he has my back.”

- Tyler, son of YOD, MN, US

“My connection with Zayhdie helped me learn how to be a fierce advocate for my husband, as well as for others living with young-onset dementia. We've developed a meaningful bond...and stay connected through Zoom, calls, texts, emails, Instagram, and in-person visits when we’re able.”

- Julie, spouse of YOD, FL, US
