On behalf of the Forget For A Moment Foundation, I would like to thank all the volunteers, donors and companies who contributed to the creation and the sustainability of our Foundation.
In late July 2011 the seed of an idea was born. Today, we are a registered charity collecting funds for projects that positively improve conditions for the elderly, the sick, for their loved ones and their caregivers. Without the immense generosity of our volunteers and donors, we never could have reached the point where we are today.
