Small Acts, Big Impact: How Staten Island Residents Are Supporting Alzheimer’s Awareness

by Hal Blake

 

Introduction: Hope Starts with One Small Act

Every movement begins with a single step, a single act of kindness, or a single decision to make a difference. On Staten Island, neighbors, families, and local businesses are proving that compassion can change the world—one small act at a time.

At Your Home Sold Guaranteed Realty Advisors LLC – The Hal Blake Team, we see this spirit every day. Through our Real Estate with a Purpose initiative, every home we sell helps fund Alzheimer’s research and support. And we’re not alone—residents all across Staten Island are joining in this mission to bring awareness, hope, and healing to those affected by Alzheimer’s disease.


Alzheimer’s Awareness: A Cause Close to Home

Alzheimer’s disease affects nearly every community in America, and Staten Island is no exception. Thousands of families here are caring for loved ones facing memory loss, confusion, and the emotional toll that comes with the disease.

While the statistics are sobering, the community’s response has been inspiring. From local fundraising walks to small neighborhood events, Staten Islanders are proving that awareness leads to action—and that action leads to change.

Our team proudly supports the Alzheimer’s Association’s Walk to End Alzheimer’s, the island’s most visible symbol of unity and compassion. But the movement doesn’t stop when the walk ends. It continues through everyday gestures of support from caring residents just like you.


Local Heroes Making a Difference

Here are just a few examples of how Staten Island residents are turning compassion into real-world impact:

  • Community Walkers and Volunteers: Hundreds of locals participate annually in the Staten Island Walk to End Alzheimer’s, raising funds that go directly to patient care and research.

  • Local Businesses Giving Back: Restaurants, coffee shops, and retailers are donating a portion of proceeds on special awareness days—proving that you don’t have to be a large corporation to make a difference.

  • Caregivers Sharing Their Stories: Many Staten Island families are stepping forward to share their journeys, giving hope and guidance to others navigating the same challenges.

  • Youth and Schools Involved: High-school clubs and local universities are launching service projects, from awareness campaigns to charity drives, showing that the next generation is already carrying the torch.

These efforts—big or small—combine to form a network of kindness that’s impossible to ignore.


How Real Estate Can Drive Positive Change

At Your Home Sold Guaranteed Realty Advisors LLC, we believe business should be a vehicle for good. That’s why we created Real Estate with a Purpose: our ongoing commitment to give a portion of every home sale to the Alzheimer’s Association.

Whether you’re buying your first home or selling a family estate, your transaction directly supports:

✅ Local caregiver resources and support groups.
✅ 24/7 Alzheimer’s helpline services.
✅ Critical medical research for prevention and treatment.
✅ Educational outreach across New York City boroughs.

When you choose to work with our team, you’re not just securing guaranteed real-estate results—you’re also helping families in your own community find hope.

And through BlakeTeamReferrals.com, you can refer a friend, family member, or coworker. Once their transaction closes, we make a donation to the Alzheimer’s Association in your name. It’s the simplest way to make an impact—no fundraising or walking shoes required.


Why Small Acts Matter More Than Ever

Alzheimer’s isn’t a battle fought only in research labs—it’s fought in living rooms, hospitals, and communities. Small acts of compassion remind families they’re not alone.

When someone donates, volunteers, or even shares a social-media post raising awareness, they create a ripple effect that spreads far beyond what they can see.

A single donation funds helpline calls.
A single volunteer comforts a caregiver.
A single referral through our program funds one more hour of research.

Together, these small moments build momentum toward something extraordinary—a future free from Alzheimer’s disease.
