We were delighted to fund the development of the short film *So Happy to Meet You*. The film shares the story of MJ Grant and her mother Carmen, and their experience of living with deafness and dementia.

At the beginning of the project, we captured a very special moment between MJ and her mother in this short clip *Dementia Can Be Beautiful. *

 

For MJ and Carmen, their hands tether their connection and love to each other. It’s a beautiful lesson on taking the time to reconnect and communicate with each other, whatever the situation.
