Donate to support youth impacted by ALS
This Giving Tuesday December 1, 2026, your donations will help youth impacted by ALS feel supported and stay connected to what they love. Your support will help fund the Debi Lefaivre ALS Youth Champions Fund and help establish a new mental health program for youth impacted by ALS in Alberta.
Helping youth impacted by ALS feel supported and stay connected to what they love.
ALS changes life for the whole family. For young people, that can mean difficult questions, changing routines and worry about someone they love. They still need time with friends, activities that bring them joy and support with feelings that can be hard to put into words.
This Giving Tuesday, help us make room for all of it. Your gift will support the Debi Lefaivre ALS Youth Champions Fund and help establish a new mental health program for youth impacted by ALS in Alberta.
Why these supports belong together
Youth Champions helps children whose parent or guardian has been affected by ALS take part in activities their families may struggle to afford. Sports, music, and other interests offer time with friends, familiar routines, and something to look forward to.
Activities and mental health care serve different needs; together, they support more of a young person’s life.
This new program serves to support the long-term mental health of youth affected by ALS, while also supporting the immediate grief and emotions.
The Importance of Supporting our Youth
Even as everything around us changed, our families connection remained the same
