URGENT MESSAGE
Dear ALS Visitor,
ALS of Nevada services are available, our doors open. Yet we struggle day in and day out to remain what is the sole source of service for those with Lou Gehrigh's disease, along with their caregivers who desperately need our assistance.
The number of ALS patients on service with us is at an all-time high. Our need for funding and donations is a continuous need. Donations made to ALS of Nevada stay in Nevada. Originally a staff of three, the entire State is now covered by one woman, Megan Testa. To put that in perspective, you could fit most of the eastern seaboard inside Nevada. That is a massive amount of area to cover. And your contributions, be it $1 or more, helps keep this center of assistance open.
Shoestring budgets are the rule here. We are not a massive organization with unlimited resources. We count heavily on the support of the community, visitors to this website, charitable contributions from businesses, etc., just to keep our doors open.
We thank you in advance with deep humility and appreciation. We assure you that - as has always been the case - we are extremely conscientious stewards of your dollars and share your faith in our cause to provide vital services to our Nevada residents who are living with Lou Gehrig’s disease and have nowhere else to turn for assistance.
Sincerely,
Megan Testa, Executive Director
Lauran Meyer, President
Larry Bender, Vice President
ALS of Nevada Mission Statement
ALS of Nevada is an independent not-for-profit organization serving ALS patients from throughout Nevada. It is our goal to serve all persons and their families living with and fighting ALS in Nevada, one patient at a time.

ALS of Nevada is dedicated to providing the best care and service possible to those that have ALS until research efforts lead to the day when we find a cause and cure for Lou Gehrig’s disease. With your help, our mission will continue and we will be able to better assist those who depend upon us.
