When a family receives the diagnosis of ALS, they are faced with an overwhelming array of questions, paperwork, medical advice, financial and logistical challenges, and life-altering changes. Conventional health care does not begin to address the complexity of these needs.

MAC Angels helps families in a variety of ways.  We meet with every family individually to determine together how best we can help support them throughout their journey with ALS.  All of our assistance is unique; we bridge the gap in services. The emotional, educational and financial support needed to manage this devastating disease is extraordinary.
