About One Family One Cause
One Family One Cause was created by a family united through love, loss, and resilience. Over the course of the last 10 years alone, 8 of our family members have lost their fight to ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis). Our families earliest recorded fight with ALS can be traced back to 1949. Founded by John Claude, the only one of seven siblings who did not inherit the familial ALS gene, we’ve turned our family’s story into a movement of hope. Our mission is simple: to support families affected by ALS through awareness, advocacy, and direct assistance.

About the Emergency Assistance Program
ALS doesn’t just affect the body; it impacts every part of family life. Our Emergency Assistance Program provides microgrants of $250 to $500 (and higher in special cases) to help families facing urgent needs. These grants cover essentials like medical equipment, travel for treatment, home accessibility modifications, and emergency living expenses. We plan to expand on what we can offer, but to start we are focused on immediate need.

Every dollar donated goes directly toward our Emergency Assistance Program, helping families navigate the hardest moments with dignity and support. Together, we can make sure no family faces ALS alone.
