25 msfocusmagazine.org between all the various services.” Others prefer to choose one or a combination of the many. If you check out our MSFocus.org website, you will learn more about how MS Focus helps the MS community. We offer the following grants: • Homecare Assistance Grant • Emergency Assistance Grant • Assistive Technology Program • Healthcare Assistance Grant • Transportation Assistance Grant • Health and Wellness Program. I’d also suggest asking a friend or family member to help you. It’s not only easier but you’ll certainly have more fun planning and executing the event with someone by your side. Trust me, it’s a wonderful feeling to know your efforts in giving back are going to a good cause and real people are grateful for your help. Whenever I speak with one of our clients and they ask me how we raise our money, I explain that people just like themselves are the reason MS Focus has been able to help the MS community for the past 40 years. As a person who has been a volunteer for the past 51 years, it brings me constant joy. Even those that are living with various levels of disability can experience the feeling of empowerment by encouraging their own family and friends to give back. Want to Plan Your Own Fundraiser?
