Re: Muscular Dystrophy Association Help

[Guest guest]

For our family, MDA has been a great resource for information and

support. When needed a new wheelchair, after our insurance paid

their part, MDA picked up the difference. I don't know if it works

differently in other places, but each year our local MDA allocates

approx. $2,000.00 per patient to help cover similar expenses. They

also have a rental closet to loan out equipment that might be needed

temporarily. You can call them and ask them anything without fear of

being judged or treated as a bother.

The MDA clinic has a top notch neurologist who is there for evaluations

and to help arrange for testing, therapy's etc. Plus, they are a good

source of information about strides being made in all of the

neuromuscular and neuropathic diseases.

MDA has a wonderful camp for kids during the summer.

Hope this helps....
