20 years brought us here. YOU can help us move forward.

For 20 years, ALS in the Heartland has supported individuals and families affected by ALS throughout Nebraska and Iowa.

Since 2006, over 2,000 individuals across 157 counties have turned to us for respite, equipment, children’s support, resources, connection, and more. In the past year alone, we have provided 17,062 hours of respite, traveled 25,297 miles to deliver equipment and reach families, and been a part of 17 events to raise awareness.

Those numbers tell part of the story. The moments behind them are deeply personal.

A caregiver loves the person they are caring for, but they are tired.

YOU can give them a break through our Respite Program.

A child’s parent has ALS, but strained finances do not allow them to dance, play a sport, go to camp, or hold on to something that feels normal.

YOU can help make that possible through our Children’s Fund.

A person living with ALS suddenly needs equipment, resources, or help figuring out what comes next.

YOU can help make sure they don’t have to figure it out alone.

That is how ALS in the Heartland has moved forward: one person, one family, and one need at a time.

Your year-end gift helps provide free support for today and hope for the future right here in our communities. As we close our 20th year, please consider making a tax-deductible gift.

Thank you for helping us move forward.
