THIS PROJECT WAS SUPPOSED TO SAVE MY MOM, INSTEAD IT SAVED ME.
By definition all human beings are caregivers, we are all the same. I'm an employee, wife, mother, dog mom, daughter, sister, niece, cousin, friend, housekeeper, landscaper, wannabe artist and by definition a caregiver. Much like all of you I am physically, emotionally and mentally exhausted - and I'm drowning.
I created this project initially for many reasons, Dementia has hit every known generation of my family, I have genetic variants, to find the comfort of emotional connection with my mom, to stop her cognitive decline and to raise money to donate to the Alzheimers Association to find a cure for dementia for future generations.
Somewhere along the way in my caregiver journey I was swallowed with anxiety and I lost myself. I lost what brought me peace. My initial mission at The Loon Project was big, but I didn't have any extra time to dedicate to anything. Since the initial launch, I've changed and my moms dementia has progressed and the Loon Project has morphed.
While I will always donate money from the project to the Alzheimer's Association, The Loon Project 2.0 will also focus on improving the daily life of people with dementia.
SO EXCITED, to share here with you the IMPACT you make by shopping with me. Also please know you are saving my soul by letting me create beautiful things for you that I love.
XO - KERRY
