We are not experts. We are not vendors. We are a community of current or previous care givers who have experienced this disease personally and have battled ALS 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. We had to “learn on the job”. We immersed ourselves in all available information resources and in people networks seeking practical solutions to help us manage daily living challenges.
