Every month we donate 3% of our sales to the ALS association. We donate to the families who are caring for loved ones diagnosed with this incurable disease. ALS is a progressive neurodegenerative disease and over time it weakens the muscles and severely impacts physical function. 

In 2010 I lost my grandmother to this disease. She was full of life, loved dancing and played BINGO. She was active and extremely special to me. What she first thought to be hip pain was actually the disease taking over her body. This disease took over so rapidly and she did not want to be constricted to a wheel chair or ventilator. So it was her choice to spend the last few months in the comfort of her own home surrounded by those who loved her most. 

Still to this day there is no cure or treatment for this disease. The ALS association is a research program with a mission of finding treatments and cure for ALS. We have a choice of donating for research or to families. The last few donations have went to families. To learn more or if you would like to donate personally, please visit ALS.ORG.

In loving memory of Carmen Palacio. Returned home April 29, 2010.
