To surpass his ambitious $100K+ fundraising goal, Dave needs your support! 100% of donations go towards the Brigance Brigade Foundation to provide life-changing assistance to those battling ALS and to their families.
The Impact of Your Gift to the Brigance Brigade Foundation:
$5,000 – covers the cost of one BBF PALS Grant to a family in need
$2,500 – helps a family bring in an outside care agency 3 days a week for a full month
$1,000 – helps pay the out-of-pocket costs for an eye gaze machine, allowing the PALS to communicate with their loved ones, friends and colleagues
$500 – covers the purchase of an additional battery for a breathing machine not covered by standard insurance
$250 – covers the purchase of a transfer bench or shower chair to ensure safety and security at home
$150 – pays for a day of care so a PALS primary caregiver can go to work
$50 – pays for in-home care so a family caregiver can attend their own doctor appointment
$25 – covers 1 hour of medical care & consultation for a family touched by ALS
$10 – covers the cost of a gait belt so someone with ALS can be transferred more safely
O.J. "speaks" to Dave using his eye gaze machine. Once ALS robs someone of their ability to talk, this device allows them to communicate with family members and loved ones. With your support of this challenge, eye gaze machines may be provided to 100+ PALS and their families.
