ALS of Utica would like to thank Toni Labbate of EqualFirstAid.org. Toni was able to get LifeVac devices donated for each of our ALS patients. LifeVac devices prevent choking which can become a serious concern as ALS progresses. We will be reaching out to our registered ALS patients soon to distribute these devices. If you are an ALS patient in Oneida or Herkimer and not registered with us, please email us at [email protected] to learn more. For proper use and instructions, please visit http://lifevac.net/

ALS of Utica is reaching out to our community for help.

We have a local Mohawk Valley patient in need of a motorized wheelchair while their personal wheelchair is undergoing repairs. We are hoping to find someone who may have a motorized wheelchair they are not currently using and would be willing to lend for a few weeks.

If you have one available, or know of an organization, business, or individual who may be able to help, please reach out!

Email: [email protected]
Or send us a message directly through Facebook.

Even if you can't help directly, PLEASE SHARE so we can get this request in front of the right person.

Our community always shows up when someone needs a hand. 💙

THANK YOU!

Did you know?
ALS of Utica offers an Estate Planning Grant for local registered ALS families through partnerships with local Elder Law Attorneys. After an ALS diagnosis, it’s critical to begin planning early. Many families are unaware that Medicare and standard insurance often do not cover long-term home care needs. Through this program, families may receive assistance with services such as wills, health care proxy, power of attorney, Medicaid planning and asset protection.

ALS of Utica pays approved attorneys directly on behalf of eligible families to help ease the financial burden during an already difficult time.
