Dear family, dear friends,

As you may have heard, our mom, Inge, was diagnosed with Bulbar Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) last summer - a devastating disease that affects the nervous system and causes the progressive degeneration of motor neurons.

As you can imagine, this news has been incredibly difficult for our family to bear. While Western medicine is making significant progress in understanding the biology of ALS, there is still no official cure available. It’s a complex and challenging disease to treat. Because of this, it is also incredibly expensive to manage. Medical bills and equipment costs add up quickly and the newest treatment options have a very high price tag. Unfortunately, these expenses have become too difficult for us to manage on our own as a family.

Our sweet mom is our rock, and settling with this conclusion is simply not an option. Hence, we are ever so determined to go above and beyond to get her through this difficult journey. New experimental treatment options give us plenty of hope, and it is our goal to make them available to her.

That’s why we are reaching out to you today to ask for your help. We have set up a fundraiser to help cover the costs for her to take part in these new and promising treatments, of which we are confident will make a significant impact in fighting the disease.

Your donation, no matter the amount, can make a massive difference in our family's ability to support her in this difficult journey.

With your help, we can provide the care and support that she needs and deserves to tackle this horrible disease. We are so grateful for your kindness and compassion and couldn’t possibly thank you enough for your support.

With lots of love,

Olivia, David & Elsa
