Hello to all-
eHope is a startup non-profit organization located in Portland Maine - www.eHope.nu. We facilitate the day-to-day care provided by family, friends, neighbors and co-workers for families caring for a loved one with ALS. In cases where few caregivers exist, we collaborate with community-based organizations to recruit volunteers who step forward to assist in that care that care.
Each family is provided a trained eHope volunteer who facilitates an intitial face-to-face meeting with the family and their extended circle of care, and then leverages the web to streamline the flow of day-to-day communication in a way where no one's life is pulled out of balance and each of the familiy's non-medical physical, emotional and social needs are met. Each of our services are provided free-of-charge.
We currently support 11 ALS families and actively participate in ALS support groups throughout the State of Maine. We are interested in carefully and thoughtfully expanding our ALS care throughout New England and into other regions of the country.
It is our strong conviction that as critically important research presses forward in the effort of finding a cure for ALS, the development of innovative care models are equally important in assisting families with coping with the here-and-now reality of caring for a loved one who faces this dibilitating disease.
None of us is as good as all of us.
