20 Years Brought Us Here. YOU Can Help Us Move Forward.
Our 2026 Annual Appeal is here!
For 20 years, ALS in the Heartland has been there for individuals and families facing ALS throughout Nebraska and Iowa. From providing respite for caregivers to helping children and families access the support they need, we've been able to make a difference because of people like YOU.
In the past year alone, we've provided 17,062 hours of respite, traveled 25,297 miles to reach families and deliver equipment, and participated in 17 events to raise awareness.
But behind every number is a person, a family, and a story.
As we celebrate 20 years of serving our community, we hope you'll consider making a year-end gift to help us continue this important work. Your generosity helps ensure families facing ALS have someone to turn to when they need it most.
