Rebecca Luna was living a busy, full life when she received the shattering diagnosis of early-onset Alzheimer’s at just 48. Like many with this devastating condition, she initially mistook symptoms for stress until cognitive lapses grew noticeable and dangerous.
One key moment came when she couldn’t start her work as usual and another when she forgot an egg boiling on the stove, nearly setting her home on fire. These signs forced Rebecca to confront a difficult truth: even in middle age, Alzheimer’s can strike.
Despite the uncertainty ahead, Rebecca uses social media and crowdfunding to share her story, help others, and seek support for raising her children. Her raw vulnerability carries an important message for families to meet loved ones with kindness and understanding.
Rebecca’s journey is a testament to resilience in the face of a progressive illness and a call to recognize early symptoms before it’s too late.
