About Peer Donation Client

Actively living with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), also called Lou Gehrig’s disease, is a challenge that affects families emotionally and financially.  The high cost of health care, lack of accessible transportation, and insurance restrictions severely limit the independence and quality of life of both patients and their caregivers. Established in 2007 as a 501(c)(3) non-profit, The Joe Martin ALS Foundation helps families face these challenges by providing free homecare services.  Some of the services are the following:

• Accessible wheelchair transportation
• Range of motion and exercise
• Home accessibility evaluation
• Assistive computer loans and tech support
• Trip planning
• Assistance getting out of bed and ready for a productive day 

By helping people with ALS, our staff also helps families affected by this disease.  Spouses, sons and daughters and other family members serve as the primary caregivers for their loved one.  Our visits provide these caregivers time to run errands, attend to their own needs, or the opportunity to visit with a friend. 

Your donation will help the Joe Martin ALS Foundation provide these desperately needed services.   Please visit our website: JoeMartinALSfoundation.org or call us at 704-332-1929 for more information about the foundation or about this fund raising program.  Thank you for your support!
