Williams Moving & Storage has set a goal of raising $1 million for the George "Sonny" Williams Memorial Endowment Fund. The Fund supports Caregiver programs through the ALS Society of BC. Funds are generated in many ways....Work A Thon, Garage Sales, Clothes Drive, Golf Tournament, Hair A Thon, Slim A Thon and many more. All work on these events are coordinated by employees and friends of Williams Moving & Storage.
About Caregiver Day
Caregivers day is a chance for the full-time primary caregivers of ALS patients to have a day of respite. This event allows for people who devote themselves to the care of their loved ones to come together and share experiences. It also provides the opportunity to take better care of themselves and cope with grief.
When ALS hits a family, the focus turns to provision of care, equipment and emotional support to the Person Living with ALS. The impact on the family is powerful. As they struggle to cope with the prospect of advancing disability, it consumes their emotional and financial resources.
Caregivers put their lives on hold while they are dealing with their spouse or loved one's journey through the disease.This is why we strive to make Caregivers Days special for our attendees by providing a comfortable, supportive environment.
ALS, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis is a rapidly progressive, neuromuscular disease. It attacks the motor neurons that transmit electrical impulses from the brain to the voluntary muscles in the body. When these muscles fail to receive message, they lose strength, atrophy and die.
ALS can hit anyone at any time regardless of age, gender or ethnic origin. The average life expectancy after diagnosis is 3 to 5 years. These are difficult years of decline and ultimately death. But the caregiver's grief carries on. We are committed to supporting these people who are so supportive of others.
