Priority Impact Quality of Life Grants - Get Support

Priority Impact Quality of Life Grants

[Bob]

Looking back on my 18 months since I was diagnosed with ALS one word or service that has provided me with assistance other other than my ALS association is team Gleason and organization out of New Orleans who has provided me with several attachments for my power wheelchair and shower chair specially built for me. They paid 100% of the cost approximately $20,000.

Coming from NOLA, I was a huge Steve Gleason fan!! I was heartbroken when I heard he had ALS. However, as with any situation, Steve has taken a challenging situation and made a difference for his team — us, the ALS community! Thank you for sharing. I have heard so many amazing things about this organization. NO WHITE FLAGS!

Hi Amanda

In everythingals I have found guests who gave as vía zoom an excellent presentations showing us advances and results of some clinical trials and als topics, such us:

Phase 2 of PARADIGMA (prime C), Radcliff, stem cells, digital biomakers. Nurown, Healey program, and more. When there are no guest we chat and share experiences. The facilitators have a lot of compassion, as you and Dagmar have with us. I am new in this als community but I feel I have been here since my diagnosis.

Thanks for your great support

[Dagmar]

Roman, thank you!

And I agree, the EverythingALS group is very helpful with their relevant seminars and video library. I happen to be in their voice study as well.
