ALS can strike anyone, at any age. Meet Haley Stevens:
Thank you Universe for bringing Rosa into our lives! Where ALS has been stealing life from Aiden and me, Rosa is giving it back. Rosa is a pure soul, with a beautiful giving heart. I hope she knows that she is much more than a highly valued employee in this house… she is a friend, a sister, a mother. We love her and are very grateful to her. She keeps the sun shining.
