Our Mission

The Peter Frates Family Foundation is a 501c3 non profit established to financially assist ALS patients with the enormous financial burden of home health care. As the patient progresses on their ALS journey, these out of pocket expenses grow exponentially. Our assistance will help allow these patients to stay in their home surrounded by the love and support of their loved ones where they truly belong.
