Jerrod is very strong headed and does things his way, which is honestly why he is still here today with us!
Sharon Somes
Am I feeling when I'm supposed to feel? Am I going through what I'm supposed to go through?
Julia Aguilera
I decided to take the responsibility of being her primary caregiver so that my 3 older siblings did not have to risk their job security during this time.
Cristy Hardin
Kurt’s bravery in embracing his vulnerability, and my privilege in being there to care for him, created a connection that went beyond friendship, leaving an impact on my life forever.
Randolph Gregory Jr.
I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to every caregiver—family, friends, and professionals—around the world. Without your dedication, those in need of care would truly be lost. Your love and support are deeply appreciated!
Gia Polo
Caregiving is intimate and vulnerable and humbling and an honor I am grateful but saddened to have experienced.
Lara Garey
Caregivers, especially those in the space of a terminal disease, do they best they can under extraordinary conditions. We do this out of love, which can give you power you never imagined.
Mindy Spencer
I wish I had just stopped more, taken a breath, and just spent time with my dad vs. trying to fight ALS daily.
Ron Faretra
I consider myself a very lucky ALS patient in that the disease is progressing very slowly.
Brian Wilson
"I was Big Bad Dad to my boys, and I cherished ever rough and tumble wrestling matches as well as sing song goodnight putting them to bed. I had no limits whatsoever."
Debbie Lower
As an ALS caregiver, I found myself in situations I never dreamed, doing things for my Mom that neither she nor I would have guessed would happen.
