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

One of Our Recipients
Tesla Davis
From her caregiver Jill,
Shortly after we submitted the application Tesla was hospitalized with pneumonia. She has been in the ICU from December 19th through Christmas and New Years. She now has a tracheostomy and feeding tube. They are just starting to make plans for her to return home and are working hard to figure out how to make it all work. Your grant came at just the right moment to alleviate some of her anxiety around paying and training these caregivers. Thank you SO MUCH!!!! It truly is such a tremendous gift and blessing!
With gratitude,
Jill (on behalf of Tesla)
