LMS LIFELINE BUDDY PROGRAM

LMS LIFELINE BUDDY PROGRAM
for Patients and Caregivers

The NLMSF LifeLine Buddy Program offers one -on-one
support for an LMS patient/survivor or caregiver.  Being
paired with someone who has been in a similar phase of
the LMS diagnosis/treatment journey can be a “lifeline”
to help build courage, strength, resilience.

Through the NLMSF , the LMS LifeLine Buddy volunteers
want to “pay it forward” for the sake of the LMS Community.
This program has been ongoing and appreciated by patients and
their families.

LMS LifeLine Buddies cannot offer medical advice, but
rather, offer “armchair support” via telephone or virtual meet up,
to share perspectives from similar experiences.   LifeLine
Buddies are good listeners and  want to provide a shoulder
of support.  Knowing you are not alone in the LMS journey can
be an invaluable source of comfort.

The NLMSF is always with you.  You can reach the Foundation
any time of the day or night – 24/7.  The contact number is on
the NLMSF website
