AMP UP YOUR GIVING: Technology Edition

Through the generosity of numerous donors, our Chapter is able to provide our PALS with a wide array of equipment to help them maintain their independence, sustain mobility, and have the ability to communicate throughout the progression of the disease. Your gift, no matter the amount, can go a long way in helping us continue this important work for our region's PALS. Here is some of what your gift can provide:

• $50 - Switches can give patients who have lost their ability to press on various communication devices access to an entire communication screen with one easy motion.
• $150 - Communication Device Batteries allows our patients to be mobile and still maintain their communication. Communication systems can work while plugged in, but they become portable with the use of these batteries, fostering independence for patients and greater ease for caregivers.
• $250 - A Voice Amplifier increases the volume of a patient with weakened or softened speech, so listeners can remain in a typical conversation space instead of staying extremely close to hear the speaker.
• $350 - Wheelchair Batteries last about two years and provide one of the key components for a device that is critical to the movement of PALS. A power wheelchair cannot be used without a working battery, so this basic part of the wheelchair is one that is greatly needed for the Chapter.

Donate today to ensure we can continue to provide the highest quality of care to all our PALS and continue to provide the state-of-the-art equipment at no cost!
