Mission Statement
The mission of MAC Angels Foundation is to enhance the quality of life for patients, family members and caregivers impacted daily by ALS, by providing the compassion, education and unique resources needed to manage the devastating effects of this disease.
Description
MAC Angels started in 2010 to support individuals and families living with ALS. We were formed in honor of Larchmont native Claire Collier, who bravely fought ALS, a devastating degenerative neuron disease that often leaves those with the disease completely immobile.
MAC Angels uniquely understands the day-to-day needs of an ALS patient and their family. We are able to evaluate and offer support for any need from medical transportation to emergency grants to handicap-accessible ramps. We also understand the stresses and burdens of caregivers, so do what we can to alleviate that burden. We partner with over 30 other non-profits to really try to make the quality of life better for those living with the disease.
