I found this forum, and have already read lots of useful information. I am a 38 y/o male that was diagnosed today with ALS. I am currently going through a litany of emotions, which I am sure is quite normal. I am a positive guy, and also a pragmatist.
What concerns me the most, as of this very moment, is that I am the financial backbone of my family. I am the GM at a large organization, and as such verbal communication is a vital part of my responsibilities. That has been a struggle for the last several months as I was going through the process of diagnosis. I am also aware that there will come a time that I am no longer able to fulfill those duties.
What I need to know, is what financial help is available for people with ALS to help support my family? Also, since my insurance is through my company, where do I go from here?
Any help is much appreciated.
