In partnership with the UPS Foundation in the Mid-Atlantic/Chesapeake region, Live Like Lou granted a total of $15,000 last month to nine families living with ALS to complete home improvement projects. Requested projects ranged from updating bathrooms and flooring, adding a wheelchair ramp, and completing electrical work to allow for smart switches and outlets. An ALS diagnosis often comes with necessary home improvements or renovations to accommodate wheelchairs or other equipment for people living with ALS.
We plan to expand this pilot program in 2023 to more areas of the United States and Canada as we fulfill our vision to leave ALS better than we found it.
