MAURER-HEINSEN HOME ACCESS PROGRAM

Through our ALS journey, we recognized the importance of accessibility for those with mobility challenges. This program will cover a significant portion of the costs associated with the installation of temporary modular ramps and ensure that people living with ALS can navigate in and out of their own.
 
“Enabling access through these ramps is not just building infrastructure;
it’s building bridges to hope, dignity, and a better life for those battling ALS.”
  - Tim Maurer
