Leonard Rudolph Fund Makes Powerful Impact

The Leonard Rudolph Fund, established to help patients, survivors, and caregivers of those with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (also known as Lou Gehrig's Disease), has recently made an incredible impact.

In early spring, two different types of chairs costing $7,092 were gifted to the family of an ALS patient. In the image above, the caregiver describes how the chairs have helped in their daily lives.

“Our chairs have been life-savers! Justin absolutely needed these as getting up and down from traditional furniture has become extremely difficult and challenging for him. Having these chairs has also saved us from a lot of falls (and me picking him up off the floor). So, thank you so much from the bottom of our hearts for them….Thank you for giving me hope that there are still some good, kind, and caring people in the world….“

Donations are no longer being accepted to the Leonard Rudolph Fund; however, we are seeking beneficiaries across patients, survivors, and caregivers of those with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (also known as Lou Gehrig's Disease). Email info@broomfieldfoundation.org to express interest.
