Are you working more than 30 hours a week and struggling with daily tasks to get work ready? Our Personal Care Attendant Program could help you. This program is for those living with Limb Girdle Muscular Dystrophy who work full-time in the USA. Please read requirements to see if you qualify!
It is so difficult for individuals who work full-time to get ready for work. Getting a bath, dressing, and other ADLs required to work create a huge problem as these services can cost so much. Most programs in the USA do not provide assistance for working Americans. Our program does though and it helps defray the cost with a $3000 one time grant to help pay for a PCA. The PCA program by the Speak Foundation is the first program of this kind in the USA for individuals with muscular dystrophy by a nonprofit organization.
This program has been in existence for 5 years and has helped many individuals in the USA.

Thank you to Sarepta Therapeutics for helping LGMD families!
Cycle Two for the COVID-19 relief program is now closed. Thank you to all our generous sponsors! TSF has given out thousands and thousands of dollars in direct support to families living with LGMD in 2020.
This program was funded by a generous grant from Sarepta Therapeutics and private donors. Cycle two ended on August 19th, 2020. Congratulations to families who were helped by this grant. The total amount of grants was over $60,000 to families to help with housing, food, personal care, and medications.
