Support Michelle's Battle Against ALS

The Kennedy family is reaching out on behalf of our incredible mother/wife who has recently been diagnosed with the terminal illness ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis), also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease. This diagnosis has been life-altering for our entire family, and while we’re doing everything we can to stay strong, the reality is that ALS is not only emotionally devastating it’s also physically and financially overwhelming.

About Our Michelle

She is the most selfless, loving, and resilient woman we know. She’s always been the one to show up for others whether it was staying up late to make sure her kids were okay, making sure everyone was fed and cared for, or being a rock for our family through difficult times. She’s spent her life giving to others, and now, she needs us more than ever.

The Reality of ALS

ALS is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord, eventually robbing a person of their ability to move, speak, eat, and breathe. It is 100% fatal, and There is currently no cure. As the disease progresses, my mom will need significant care, medical equipment, and support that go far beyond what insurance will cover.

We are already seeing changes. She is having more difficulty speaking and swallowing, and her mobility is beginning to decline. These changes are frightening and heartbreaking to witness, but we are doing all we can to keep her comfortable and surrounded by love.

Why We’re Asking for Help

Caring for someone with ALS is not only emotionally demanding but incredibly expensive. Your generous donations will go directly toward:

• In-home nursing and caregiving support

• Medical equipment (power wheelchair, communication devices, feeding assistance tools, etc.)

• Home modifications to make her living space safe and accessible

• Transportation to and from appointments

• Alternative therapies, nutritional support, and medications

• Helping our family cover basic needs while caring for her full-time

We want to give our mom the best quality of life possible for as long as we can, and that’s why we are humbly asking for help. Every dollar makes a difference whether it’s a $5 donation or simply sharing this campaign with others to spread word of this awful disease.

Gratitude From Our Family

We know times are hard for many, and just reading our story means the world to us. If you’re not able to donate, we still ask that you keep our mom in your prayers and help us spread awareness about ALS.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for your love, your compassion, and your support. This is a road no one should have to walk alone, and we are forever grateful to every single person who joins us in lifting her up.

With love,

The Kennedy Family
