Jude’s costs are great. They include fees for surgical removal of heavy metals, for equipment for home and car, and for paid assistance with transportation, errand running, and household chores. If Jude’s health deteriorates, she will need much more help–for transportation, to be fed and dressed, etc. She may require special equipment to speak mechanically and use the computer.

At this time, Jude has incurred at least $24,000 in debt for ALS-related costs that her insurance doesn’t cover. We anticipate similar yearly costs if Jude continues to decline.

This disease is traumatic enough. Jude doesn’t need the added nightmare of losing all her economic assets and more. We hope her family can continue to help Jude live and flourish. “I need to see my granddaughter grow up. I need to write the music inside me,” she tells us.
