At LMJ’s Lost Souls – Alzheimer’s Fund, our Community Campaign is all about bringing comfort and connection to those living with dementia. Recently, our work was featured in the Daily Herald, highlighting how baby dolls we donated to The Indigo of Elmhurst are being used in doll therapy to provide peace and purpose for residents. From comfort dolls to sensory items, our campaign has supported dozens of memory care communities across Chicagoland—reminding residents they are not forgotten and showing caregivers that their work is deeply valued.

LMJ's Lost Souls Alzheimer's Fund, a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting individuals affected by Alzheimer's disease, has received its first grant from the Rotary Club of Schaumburg/Hoffman Estates. The generous donation will enable LMJ's Lost Souls to expand its outreach efforts and provide essential resources to those living with Alzheimer's. This partnership between the Rotary Club and LMJ's Lost Souls marks a significant milestone in the fight against Alzheimer's disease.

Alzheimer's disease is a devastating illness that affects millions of people worldwide, including Betsy Skibinski and her family.

When we look at the umbrella of Dementia, symptoms also may include depression, anxiety, and agitation. I’ve personally worked with Dementia and Alzheimer’s patients who were far advanced in the diseases, and it is amazing to see increased awareness and happiness in their expressions after receiving massage therapy.

When my grandmother was in her 70’s she started misplacing and forgetting things on a regular basis. Her next stage in decline included her constantly mumbling and getting lost. Soon after that, she was in full blown Alzheimer’s.

The story of LMJ’s Lost Souls starts with our family.
