    Grants to help with caregiver costs

    Some of the ALS ASSOCIATION Chapters have grant money to help PALS/CALS with the cost of caregiving. We received $2K from the NY Metro chapter. There was an application, and I had to submit detailed invoices that show per diem charges. It is possible that other ALS foundations can support...

    CAREGIVERS REFUSE OUTSIDE HELP

    . I need wisdom, making a decision, or some kind of change. It is out of love for my wife for 41 years. My daughter Hannah now 24, has devoted her life to caring for me. They have little energy to do anything else. That is what I am concerned about. I have lived 16 years with ALS DX JAN 2006 @...

    Rebuilding

    Getting Help, Caregivers

    We have a mix of ways that we have help. I thought I'd share them. I'd also be interested in hearing your ideas. For reference, my Dad is mostly immobile now, (diagnosed the end of 2018.) All transfers are with a Hoyer lift. He does get transferred to a commode or his PWC, (mostly if we're...
