Preserving Your Voice

Want to Preserve Your Voice or the Voice of a Loved One?

Meaningful ways to record and preserve your voice for the people you love.

At ALS in the Heartland, we understand how meaningful a person's voice can be. These resources offer families a special way to record and preserve a loved one's voice for years to come.


Recordable Stuffed Animals

  • Our recordable stuffed animals provide a comforting and meaningful way to preserve your voice.
  • Record a short message, story, song, or words of encouragement that can be played back at any time. These stuffed animals offer comfort and a special way to keep your voice close to the people you love.

Recordable Voice Stickers

  • Record your voice reading a favorite book so your loved one can hear your voice during story time, anytime.
  • Simply place the small, durable sticker inside a favorite book and record your message. Voice stickers provide another meaningful way for families to preserve a loved one's voice and create lasting memories through something as special as a favorite story.

Who is Lou?

Named after Lou Gehrig, Lou is the friendly, cuddly face we see in our office every day. He reminds us of the compassion we aim to show every family we serve.

Lou represents the heart of our recordable bear program—helping preserve voices and memories for families impacted by ALS. He’s a sweet reminder that love can be held, heard, and never forgotten.
