Voice For Joanie Pizza Party Is May 14
NEW MILFORD â Voice for Joanie, Inc, a nonprofit organization that provides assistive technology to people suffering with Lou Gehrigâs disease (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or ALS) and other debilitating conditions, is again hosting a pizza party and magic show.
This fundraising event will be held at the VFW Hall, 11 Avery Road, on Saturday, May 14, from 6 to 10 pm. Tickets are $20 for adults, $10 for children.
For the past 20 years, in Connecticut and throughout the United States, Voice for Joanie has provided assistive technology, free of charge, to more than 800 people with ALS and other debilitating conditions who can no longer speak. If these individuals can blink an eye or raise an eyebrow or barely move a finger, Voice for Joanie has equipment that can overcome communication difficulties.
As ALS progresses, Voice for Joanie replaces equipment with different technology that better meets an individualâs needs. Clients can once again express their needs, thoughts, and emotions, speak with their family, friends, and caregivers, and maintain some control over their environment.
