Program accomplishments

THE GOAL OF THE PROGRAM IS TO ENSURE THAT INDIVIDUALS AND THEIR FAMILIES EXPERIENCE OPTIMAL EMOTIONAL FUNCTIONING GIVEN THE DEVASTATION OF THE DISEASE. OUR ATTEMPT TO SUCCESSFULLY IMPACT FAMILIES CAN BE OUTLINED WITHIN OUR EXISTING PROGRAMS: EDUCATION, KOSTIUK CARE GRANT, SUPPORT GROUPS, RICKY P. SWEAT EQUIPMENT LOANER & ASSISTIVE TECHNOLOGY PROGRAM, SALLY PANFEL IN-HOME CARE AND RESPITE PROGRAM, PAUL B. WILLIAMS ALS TRANSPORTATION PROGRAM, AND CLIENT CONSULTATIONS. INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE NEWLY DIAGNOSED OFTEN NEED TIME TO ABSORB THE IMPACT OF THEIR DIAGNOSIS, THEREFORE BASIC INFORMATION AND EDUCATION IS PROVIDED IMMEDIATELY BY ALS UNITED OF GEORGIA. THIS INFORMATION INCLUDES, BUT IS NOT LIMITED TO, THE DIAGNOSIS ITSELF, DISEASE TRAJECTORY, RESOURCES AND SUPPORT, AND ONGOING RESEARCH. DURING FYE 2026, ALS UNITED OF GEORGIA SAW 190 INDIVIDUALS & THEIR FAMILIES DIAGNOSED WITH ALS REGISTER WITH THE ORGANIZATION. ANNUALLY THE ORGANIZATION PROVIDES AN EDUCATIONAL SYMPOSIUM WHICH HIGHLIGHTS RESEARCH, SUPPORT AND EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES FOR PEOPLE LIVING WITH ALS, COMMUNITY PROVIDERS, AND SUPPORTERS.

FOR THOSE THAT MAY NEED ADDITIONAL HELP, THE KOSTIUK CARE GRANT PROGRAM STRIVES TO PROVIDE SOME RELIEF. THIS PROGRAM IS A REIMBURSEMENT PROGRAM THAT ASSISTS FAMILIES WITH EXPENSES THAT ARE NOT TRADITIONALLY COVERED BY PRIVATE INSURANCES, MEDICAID OR MEDICARE. IT WILL COVER EXPENSES RELATED TO HOME CARE ASSISTANCE (RESPITE), TRAVEL COSTS FOR ATTENDANCE TO AND FROM ALS CLINICS, HOME MODIFICATIONS, AUTO MODIFICATIONS AND COMMUNICATION DEVICES.

DURING FYE 2026, $203,000 WAS AWARDED IN KOSTIUK CARE GRANT FUNDS, SERVING 203 INDIVIDUALS. THE SUPPORT GROUP PROGRAM PROVIDES PERSONS WITH ALS AND THEIR FAMILIES THE OPPORTUNITY TO CONNECT WITH OTHERS IN THE COMMUNITY WHO SHARE SIMILAR CHALLENGES AND NEEDS. THE GROUPS ARE DESIGNED TO PROVIDE EMOTIONAL AND PSYCHOSOCIAL SUPPORT AS WELL AS RESOURCES AND EDUCATION. KNOWING WHAT QUESTIONS TO ASK AND WHERE TO LOOK FOR RESOURCES IS VITAL. THE ORGANIZATION CURRENTLY CONDUCTS MONTHLY SUPPORT GROUPS THAT MEET THE NEEDS OF 159 COUNTIES IN THE STATE OF GEORGIA. THESE GROUPS ARE FACILITATED BY PROFESSIONALS AND COMMUNITY PARTNERS TO ENSURE MAXIMUM RESULTS. BECAUSE THE NEEDS OF CAREGIVERS AND CHILDREN CAN BE VERY SENSITIVE, THE ORGANIZATIONHAS DEVELOPED SPECIFIC GROUPS TO ADDRESS THOSE NEEDS. DURING FYE 2026, 100 SUPPORT GROUP MEETINGS WERE HELD OVER 9 LOCATIONS THROUGHOUT THE STATE, IMPACTING OVER 1,220 INDIVIDUALS WHO PARTICIPATED & ATTENDED.AS THE DISEASE PROGRESSES, INDIVIDUALS WILL EXPERIENCE A DECLINE IN FUNCTIONING AS IT RELATES TO MOBILITY AND SPEECH. THESE CHALLENGES CAN IMPACT INDEPENDENCE AND QUALITY OF LIFE. IN SOME SITUATIONS, SPECIFIC MEDICAL AND COMMUNICATION DEVICES ARE REQUIRED BUT NOT COVERED BY PRIVATE INSURANCE, MEDICAID OR MEDICARE. THE EQUIPMENT LOANER PROGRAM PROVIDES SUCH EQUIPMENT TO PEOPLE WITH ALS AT NO COST.

DURING FYE 2026, 14,699 IN-HOME CARE HOURS WERE PROVIDED THROUGH THIS PROGRAM.ACCESS TO QUALITY CARE AND RESEARCH CAN BE CHALLENGING FOR THOSE IMPACTED BY ALS.

WILLIAMS ALS TRANSPORTATION PROGRAM IS FOCUSED ON ADDRESSING TRANSPORTATION NEEDS VIA: NON-EMERGENCY TRANSPORTATION, VAN RENTALS, VEHICLE MODIFICATION AND VOUCHERS.
