Spotlight on nominee ALS Guardian Angels

Nominee ALS Guardian Angels Foundation

Next in our series of posts about new Charitocracy nominees, we have nominee ALS Guardian Angels nominated by donor Maggie. You can find their web site here.

Most ALS related organizations are dedicated to finding a cure. Until then, ALS patients need help living. The ALS Guardian Angels Foundation is dedicated to helping patients and their families live with ALS while maintaining the best quality of life possible.

A cure is not on the horizon. Someone has to help. Who will it be if not us?

Visit the page of nominee ALS Guardian Angels on Charitocracy to vote for, like, or discuss this cause!
