The Founding President is Rowena Mueckay Hofman, daughter of Jaime Mueckay (Moi Kai). She decided to start this foundation in honor of her father, who struggled with Vascular Dementia for 5 years after the passing of her mom. Jaime lived sadly without his partner Nilda for 7 years.
As much as his children tried to engage him with their families and friends it was just not the same for Jaime without his partner of over 50 plus years.
Caregiving is not easy when one has a family of their own. Jaime, once said he didn't want to bother anyone. However, in the Mueckay family it is part of the culture and tradition to take care of family members at home. Rowena, brought her dad to live with her so he wouldn't feel so alone. But it is only possible if you can do it financially or if you have the support that is needed for all the healthcare essentials.

Jaime Mueckay happily married to Nilda Torres de Mueckay for over 50 years. One night all of a sudden she passed away with a massive stroke and heart attack at the same time. Jaime survived 7 years without his only true love. Five out of the 7 years after his wife's death he began repeating stories and then the Dementia progressed rapidly after his second stroke. By the 7th year the Dementia had progressed so rapidly that he had forgotten he had eaten that he would eat again and would get stomach aches. Also he would at times couldn't remember to use the restroom any longer. Even with assistance of my brother and sister, we had to hire outside help. Unfortunately, Jaime did not qualify for any financial aide and he hadn't planned for any long term care. He had spent his years helping others. Unfortunately, his funds had run dry. Rowena and her siblings Jimmy and Glenda united to help their dad with his daily needs such as all the necessary supplies required per diem. We know it is very difficult assisting a family member with Dementia, since we have lived it. This why we want to create awareness and raise money to help those families with Dementia that are needing the support financially and/ or would like to help another family in memory of a loved one. Let's create awareness on Dementia and Memory Loss today.
