Joe Martin ALS Foundation
Mission
The Joe Martin ALS Foundation's mission is to empower families as they face the challenge of living actively with ALS by providing home care and other services at no cost. We believe that with the help of family and a caring community people with ALS can live with purpose, with joy, and with hope. This philosophy drives us to empower families with the knowledge and tools to navigate this progressive disease. Our services include showering, dressing, range of motion and exercise, wheelchair accessible transportation, and caregiver training. Our staff has over 20 years experience in caring for people with ALS (PALS), and we also serve as a resource to answer caregiving questions. ALS overwhelms families financially and emotionally, however a strong support net can help PALS and their families obtain the best caregiving techniques, equipment, and bolster their will to fight this disease.
Vision
We hope for a cure to ALS, but until there is, The Joe Martin ALS Foundation will continue to empower families to live actively with ALS. We continue to meet the needs of the ALS community by responding to the needs of those who are affected by this disease. We started Joe's Camp after parents pleaded for support for their children who were serving as their caregivers. We started Caregiver workshops to help caregivers learn how to provide better care for their loved ones, and to also remember their needs. We strive to continue to meet the needs of families in their fight against ALS.
Goals
- 1.We expanded our care giving and wheelchair accessible transportation services to the Piedmont Triad in 2022, and we hope to offer these services in more locations as we grow. All of our services are provided at no charge to families fighting ALS.
- 2.We bought a wheelchair accessible van to serve our families in this area in 2025. We plan to continue to meet the needs of families fighting ALS as needs arise.
- 3.We would like to hire another van driver so we can have more availability and flexibility to meet the needs of more families. All of our services are provided at no charge to families fighting ALS.
