Testimonials
RESPITE CARE
"I want to send you personal thanks on behalf of the Neil Schulz family for the financial support toward respite care services which your organization offers families afflicted with ALS. This program has been very important to both my husband and I. I’m sure you understand the overwhelming difficulty of being a primary caregiver through the ALS disease process. It is so valuable to have respite time. With all of the other expenses that come with managing the disease, it is difficult to allocate funds toward a much needed emotional break from the intensity of routine care giving. Please share with your Board members how valuable this is to the families who are blessed to receive it."
Diane Schulz
"I just wanted to thank you for the help you’ve given us through the respite care voucher program – my husband Jim Lyle has ALS and was diagnosed 5 Ω years ago – this respite care has given me a break – physically and mentally. Your Board members are angels for putting this organization together and actually HELPING patients and families. We appreciate what you have done for us more than you could possibly know."
Karin Lyle
"I cannot begin to express my gratitude for the respite care voucher program, and the Board’s overall willingness to go above and beyond for our family. It has been a true lifesaver. If it wasn’t for your respite program, I would have had to make a decision to place Luanna in a hospice or nursing home a long time ago. I know could not have done it alone."
Homer Leichliter
"We are truly grateful for the gift of the Respite Care Voucher Program available to us through ALS in the Heartland. Your understanding of this disease is evident in providing a service that totally impacts our lives in such a positive way. It has made a wonderful difference in our ability to cope with Roger’s disease. We will be forever grateful."

EQUIPMENT
"Thank you so much for helping my wife, Peg, with her ALS. We live on a ranch miles from town, so your access to walkers and other equipment has been a true blessing. I also appreciate that your organization always has time for me when I call."
Charles Duryea
"I don’t know how to thank ALS in the Heartland for all your help. The lift you purchased for us, and the respite care voucher program, has made all the difference in the world. I did not know how I was going to make it before this. You are the only ones that have helped us! I’m truly truly grateful. I feel like I can get through this now, because of your organization."
Joan Curtis
"What a ‘God Send’ ALS in the Heartland has been to us. Words fail to express how much we appreciated the visit from your staff person. The wheelchair you brought us will be such a help and is the perfect size for our small home. There was a time this week when the pain in my legs wouldn’t let me walk and then an angel from ALS in the Heartland called offering just what I needed. May God continue to Bless and Protect you is our Prayer. Thanks again."
Edgar and Lellus Boden
"The new electric wheelchair has been wonderful! My wife, Karen, lit up like a Christmas tree when she saw it, and it has given her newfound freedom and mobility that she thought was lost. With the new van and chair, we were able to take Mom shopping and to get her hair done. It was great! Thank you so much for all you help."

SUPPORT GROUPS
"Thank you for the good support group meeting last night and for all that your organization does for the ALS clients. I also enjoyed and learned from the recent grief healing conference you referred us to and appreciate ALS in the Heartland sharing this information."
Dolores Ring
"I don’t know how to even begin to thank ALS in the Heartland for everything you have done for my family. I didn’t even realize how much I needed the extra help in the home, until your agency offered to arrange it. And your support group was so helpful too! These past months have been beyond challenging, but knowing you are so supportive and only a phone call away? I feel like I can keep going. So, thank you!"
