How We Help

Resources for ALS Families

We bridge the gap between a family's immediate needs and the support that can make daily life more manageable.

Real Needs

Support that shows up in practical ways.

ALS brings unprecedented challenges, but families should not have to figure everything out alone. SHIFSTRONG focuses on the places where community can reduce pressure quickly and meaningfully.

01

Fundraising Events

Our events go beyond raising awareness and funds. We strive to make every event welcoming, useful, and community-building for ALS families and supporters.

02

Financial Support

ALS creates a great amount of financial stress. SHIFSTRONG works to ease that burden where possible so families can focus on comfort and care.

03

Virtual Discussions

We host group discussions for ALS families to share experiences, provide mutual support, and combat feelings of isolation.

04

Equipment & Resource Access

Navigating ALS requires specialized tools. We help families bridge the gap to critical equipment and resources that improve quality of life.
