Holiday Gift Ideas
Looking after a family member or close friend who is living with ALS is a precious act of love and devotion. It is often a full-time commitment that demands a lot of physical and emotional energy, making it challenging to maintain your own health and well-being. If you know someone in this role, the holiday season is a perfect time to say, “here’s something to help take care of you.”
