Touched By MS

about us

Who We Are

We’re a pair of driven young change-makers who want desperately to help financially-strapped MS patients in need, and try to make an impact on as many lives as we possibly can.

Each month we find unique people to support: MS patients in need of financial assistance, medicines, mobility devices, or just a shoulder to cry on.

Then, we research how we can best help them - not just in the short-term, but in the long run, too.

We try to meet their financial need through the pool of donations that only exists because of you, our donors.

Who We Help

Some MS patients suffer from severe disease symptoms that impact their personal and professional lives, leading them to unemployment and financial distress. They occasionally experience exacerbated flare-ups in their symptoms and need additional care and financial support.

Our goal is to create an online support community for MS patients and their families around the world, to create a mechanism to raise money for specific needs for individual patients, and to raise mainstream awareness about MS.

CHANGING LIVES

How we help

While there are many large national level organizations dedicated to raising funds for medical research for the treatment of MS, there is a distinct lack of grassroots level support for MS patients, the real people behind the stories, many of whom struggle terribly in their daily lives. We stand for their right to live their lives with dignity, no matter their circumstances.

our why

Meaningful impact

Every day, we come across so many patients and hear so many heart-breaking stories about their struggles coping with MS. It's frustrating that science hasn’t been able to figure out what causes it, nor how to cure it. We try to help by building a financial and emotional support structure around our MS Heroes as they cope with a life-long and silent disease.

I’m speechless. I just don’t know what to say. Thank you so much for your awesome support. You saved me when life had really kicked me down. I will never forget what you’ve done for me and my family. God bless you.

Thank you so much for helping my mom. I cried when she got your A/C unit in her apartment. Summer is brutal for her, and she always ends up in the hospital with a flare-up because of the heat, but she couldn’t afford to buy one for herself, and just suffered through it.

I think we underestimate the power of giving, even if it’s just a few bucks. It’s amazing how far just a little bit goes. I’ve seen firsthand the huge impact my small donation made to an amazing person. I feel so grateful I was able to do that.
