Molly used to sing in the choir, play the piano and dance for every occasion. She loved jewelry and shared that love by working in a jewelry store.
Molly was a savvy businesswoman, but more than anything, she cared for her family. When Molly got dementia, she was determined not to let the illness ruin her life. But with no cure for the disease, reality set in. Before long, Molly began to forget things. She could not recognize her two daughters and the other people she loved in her life. And she could hardly communicate anymore. Now, bedridden and very frail, she just barely has the energy to sit up for small amounts of time.
But Molly is lucky because her caregiver, Sadie, takes care of her. And Project Angel Food is there to help. She loves the meals and always smiles when she eats them. The aroma from the food after I heat it always lifts Molly's spirits. Molly is a resident of Los Angeles, which has the second largest aging population in the country.
