My mother Andrea's journey with ALS began in September 2021, marked by the initial onset of drop foot and frequent falls. As her condition rapidly progressed, her ability to walk became increasingly compromised, significantly impacting her daily life. It was during this challenging time that we were fortunate enough to be connected with the ALS Society of Alberta. From the very beginning, the compassion, care, practical provisions, and assistance extended to us were nothing short of exceptional.
We were generously provided with essential equipment, tailored to meet Andrea's evolving needs as her condition progresses. From mobility aids like lifts and stairlifts to specialized pressure sore management tools like the Roho mattress and boots, each item has played a crucial role in Making it Possible to enhance my mother’s comfort and quality of life.
Without this support it would have been exceedingly challenging for Andrea to remain living safely in the comfort of her own home, surrounded by her loved ones. The provision of these essential resources has not only alleviated practical challenges but has also provided immeasurable peace of mind to our family during this difficult time.
What truly sets the ALS Society apart is the genuine care and compassion demonstrated by every member of the team. From the volunteers to the administrative staff, each interaction has been marked by warmth, empathy, and a genuine desire to make a difference. Your organization doesn't just feel like a service provider; it feels like an extension of our family.
As we navigate this journey with my mom, Andrea, we are so grateful for the support and assistance we've received from the ALS Society. While this chapter of Andrea's life presents its share of challenges, the presence of organizations like yours has undoubtedly made it more manageable. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for making a meaningful difference in our lives.
Warm regards,
