Instead of flowers we would prefer gifts to either the Dementia Society of America or Brain Research Foundation.

The Dementia Society of America is a volunteer-driven 501(c)(3) nonprofit charity serving the nation for all causes of Dementia. Their programs bring much-needed education, local resources, and life enrichment to individuals and families impacted by Dementia. They recognize Dementia caregivers and innovators and raise HOPE by spotlighting relevant research to discover cures and causes and encourage early detection and meaningful interventions.

The Brain Research Foundation funds neuroscience research, including stroke research, by providing institutions and researchers with seed grants and scientific innovations awards. These respectively provide researchers with $80,000 and $150,000 over a two-year period. They have specifically funded research studies that examine ways that the brain heals itself after a after a stroke as well as helping with paralysis after a stroke.
