Drasa is Lithuanian for courage. Team Drasa is dedicated to support our courageous Nancy P, as well as to others who have battled dementia - or may yet someday - and to those placed into the crucible of care givers. We celebrate life and a future in which our donations will help overcome the tragedy of AD.
Since Nancy is still missing, there remains a strong emphasis on searching. Any Team Drasa members who wish to volunteer for tracking down incoming tips, canvassing neighborhoods, monitoring transportation systems, surveying parks and public places, etc. may volunteer by email to NancyIsMissing@gmail.com
And any donations to the Alzheimer's association are always welcome:
Alzheimer's Association: California Southland

Nancy's Remains Found. Nancy's partial skeletal remains have been identified. She passed in difficult terrain prior to March 11, 2017.
I just sent an email asking if CARDA canine/volunteer search and rescue teams are involved? http://search-dogs.carda.org/
ReplyDeleteI attended a first training session a couple of weeks ago with CARDA trainers, and I learned that in Southern California they frequently do urban searches looking for people suffering from Alzheimer's. There is no cost for their searches, and they are all highly trained (both the handlers and their dogs) volunteers. The teams I met have located many missing people. I can relay my contact there if this is of any interest.
Kathryn -- We'd appreciate your contact. Can you send to NancyIsMissing@gmail.com?
