We are the Colombian Association for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) also known as ACELA, a non-profit organization created to provide guidance and support for patients, relatives, and caregivers, so that they can face this disease with the best possible quality of life. The low socio-economic conditions, the difficult Colombian geography, and the aggressive evolution of ALS/MND in certain organisms, require priority attention in the management and supply of specialized equipment and food supplements so that the patient can live with dignity.
Your donation will go towards giving specialised equipment to patients, training specialized ALS professionals and strengthening our human resource and voluntary team who will treat and support ALS patients.
Help us! Your support is crucial to our efforts as there are large knowledge gaps when receiving and giving an ALS diagnosis, and patients and their families tend to feel extremely lost and alone when faced with this reality, sometimes waiting more than a year to receive a confirmed diagnosis, with no access to reliable information and support networks. Our healthcare system unfortunately does not always work efficiently and with the speed required, and specialist medical appointments and therapies can be hard to get.
