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.
