"Certainly a fantastic initiative. I was able to see the effect with my eyes with a lady I worked with who was often deep in her own world.
As soon as she heard her daughter's voice singing a song in her native language, there was such a beautiful awake look and we were able to connect with her very well, so beautiful ❤"

Sometimes very beautiful things can arise from a violent event. The MEM bear is a great example of this. When Grietje van der Heide's mother was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia in 2012, there was a lot of grief to process. But out of that sadness arose the desire to approach dementia in a more positive way. She found a soul mate in Jan 't Hoen, who owns a small-scale nursing home in Wezup.

Scoop

"A valuable bear. Not just for people who are labeled sick. But actually for everyone who needs a hug from time to time."

"Thank you Grietje for the beautiful bear gift. I am in Brabant and my mother in Friesland. How nice to send such a sweet bear with my voice! My mother was very happy with it!"
