Helping Bjorn finish this second ALS home

Can you believe that we are on the verge of opening the second home for neurological patients in six years? Bjorn, Maria and all the volunteers of ALS Malta are working tirelessly to open this long-awaited home. A home for ALS patients that will be situated in Żebbuġ.

The last telethon dedicated to the opening of this Nursing Home was held on Sunday, 26th of September titled ‘926tofinish’. Where 9 represented the month of the event and 26 is the date. This project will cost around €5.5m. The never-ending list of patients awaiting eagerly for the launch of this new home is getting bigger.

ALS Malta is devoted to help all patients that require help with palliative care, electronic devices and other devices that will ease the life of the concerned patient. Currently ALS Malta is helping more than 200 patients across Malta and Gozo. Every drop counts so Bjorn’s current wish will come true and more patients will have a dedicated special home.
