Plainview, NY | 15

2022 AWARD RECIPIENT

“I have chosen to help repair the world through my projects and to aspire to multiply my efforts by inspiring my peers to do the same.”

Discovering a need to provide support for the young people who care for people with Alzheimer’s disease, Hailey created the non-profit organization Kid Caregivers with two goals in mind: providing a peer-to-peer support forum for youth acting as caregivers, and connecting young caregivers with Alzheimer’s patients through shared puzzle solving. As a result, young people feel the support of a community of peers when caring for those with Alzheimer’s and Alzheimer’s patients receive a boost to their short-term memory and mood through shared activities.
