The Stanford Giving Tree is a health care volunteer organization at Stanford University. Working in conjunction with the UCSF ALS Center , The Stanford Giving Tree offers health care assistance for patients with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis , a neurological disorder also known as Lou Gehrig's Disease. Each week trained volunteers travel to private homes and assist patients with daily physical activities through an atmosphere of warm and friendly support. By reaching out to those in need, the Stanford Giving Tree creates strength in face of a challenging disease that afflicts more than 30,000 Americans each year. Until there is a cure for ALS, providing quality, cost-free home care assistance will remain a central mission of the Stanford Giving Tree.
Love always wins.
