Hi Sara,

I am a Filipino do you have any contact persons that I can talk to, here in my country and also how can I grant those equipment that you offer. By the way my email address is onald_mafi@yahoo.com.ph

in reply toRonaldoALD

Hello, We don't have a person based in Philipines. But we however have a few AMN sufferers in Australia and the pacific region. I will send an email to you with our contacts list.

For a grant, you will need to email us info@aldlife.org with an invoice or quote of equipment, care or therapy and a letter from your doctor stating your son has ALD.

Roker1176, if you haven’t, look up AMN easier on HealthUnlocked. Always discussions there. I have learned a lot about this disease. I am 44 and recently diagnosed. Can message me if you like, may not be much help other than on symptoms I suffer also.
