ALS is one of the toughest diseases a person can be diagnosed with.   The loss of the ability to walk, talk, and eventually breathe on your own . . . there are no words to describe that experience fully.

To date, there is no cure for ALS. The ALS Society can help someone live their best life as well as they can as long as they can with the loan of mobility, breathing, communication, and other types of assistive equipment.

Our promise to families living with ALS is this:  You. Are. Not. Alone.

Our client services team interacted with our ALS families over 2,608 times in 2020.  We were on site at ALS Clinics.  We visited people in their homes, we emailed, phoned, sent cards of encouragement.

Most people with ALS borrow (with no needs testing and at no charge) an average of 5 – 8 pieces of equipment valued at $70,000 - $150,000.

We help families with ALS  avoid financial devastation.  We help families with ALS make memories. 

The ALS Society was started because a family cared.  We continue because families still help us care.
