We are looking for P-ALS supporters to build the future of well-being with us.
We are a non-profit organization, and while we can devise and implement ways to support patients and their families who are battling ALS and other intractable diseases on a daily basis, we must rely on your donations for our financial resources.
First, as a specific activity of the Institute, we will provide direct assistance to those who want to use electric wheelchairs but are unable to do so for a variety of reasons, such as not being covered by insurance. The Institute will also provide similar support for the use of equipment to help people become accustomed to eye-tracking communication.
We have just started walking as an institute, but we want to ensure that we do what is necessary and what we can do. We look forward to your support. Thank you in advance.
What your donations can materialize
Electric wheelchair rental
New electric wheelchairs that can be used by anyone when needed and that are ingrained in our daily lives will become part of the infrastructure of local communities.
Communication aids, including conversation aids
Along with rental and development support for equipment such as portable conversation aids, communications by securing emergency power supplies in case of disasters etc., will be supported.

Here are some of the encouraging messages that we have received from our supporters:
A doctor said that anyone can get an intractable disease. I think this is really true. Let me support the Institute’s activities to expand and develop in the future.
I have received the strength to live. I am going to live my life one day at a time. My father-in-law had ALS, too, so I am not a stranger. I am supporting you.
We are impressed by your passion to support people with intractable diseases while you are suffering from the intractable disease. I will continue to support the Institute.
I pray that you get all the support you need to keep up this worthy project.
