We provide essential medical and daily living equipment at no cost, either through direct purchase or loan.

Available items include:

-Patient lifts and sit-to-stand lifts
-Wheelchair ramps
-Shower chairs, benches, and commodes
-Elevated toilet seats and safety frames
-Daily living aids such as reachers, dressing tools, adaptive utensils, and oral care supplies

When possible, we also connect families with trusted community partners to expand access to additional equipment.

ALS impacts the entire family, especially children. We provide resources to help families navigate conversations about ALS at every age, along with financial support for children (18 and under) to continue participating in normal, meaningful activities. Whether it’s sports, school events, or everyday experiences, this fund helps preserve a sense of stability during an unstable time.

Our volunteers show up in practical, meaningful ways.

Support may include:

-Yard work and home accessibility projects (including ramp builds)
-Household errands and chores
-Companionship visits
-Supplemental respite support

These are the kinds of things that make daily life more manageable, and remind families they’re not alone.

ALS is often misunderstood and under-recognized. Rise for ALS is working to change that.

We actively raise awareness in our local community while supporting national research efforts and monitoring legislation that impacts ALS families across Tennessee, Georgia, and beyond. Because real change happens when people are informed, and when families have a voice.
