Two crises. One target.
Loneliness/Isolation
About 1 in 3 older adults and veterans 65+ live alone. 24% of them are considered socially isolated. Isolation raises stroke risk by 32%, dementia risk by 26%, heart disease risk by 29%, and premature death by 31%.
Fraud/Scammers
Scammers stole $7.75 billion from vulnerable seniors who are defenseless from predators in 2025, a 59% increase from 2024. Roughly 75% of seniors face scam attempts, with 41% admitting to losing money.
These aren't separate problems. They're the same crisis. Isolation makes fraud possible, and a proactive, daily voice can interrupt both.
ALMA Is Always There for You.

"The FBI says every day of inaction, another 550 reported seniors and veterans fall victim to fraud. I'm 91 years old, and I built ALMA to combat and resolve this crisis, and the isolation epidemic. But I can't reach everyone by myself. Together, we can make a difference."
Built by a 91-Year-Old Veteran for His Community
Mike Forrest saw his neighbors and fellow veterans becoming more isolated and vulnerable. He knew he couldn't be there for everyone, so he built ALMA. He's funding this himself to keep it free, but he can't reach every senior alone. That's why we need you.
ALMA my Friend, is an AI voice-first caring companion that helps protect seniors from fraud predators, to remember, and remind seniors, the socially disadvantaged, and veterans of daily tasks, while combating loneliness, and maintaining their independence. ALMA learns their personality, their stories, their preferences, and adapts every day. When something seems off, the designated caregiver receives an alert, before it becomes a crisis.
