What We Do
What Is The Yolo Foundation
The YOLO foundation is a registered 501(c)3 formed in 2020 by the family and friends of Kelly Anne Herbert to serve as her legacy.The foundation empowers individuals afflicted with ALS by providing resources for life enrichment, with the focus being on three areas of enrichment:
- “Look Good Feel Good,” a program directed at helping pALS with challenges involving wellness, beauty, or clothing.
- “ALS Will Change Your Body, It Doesn’t Have to Change Your Life” which allows pALS to maintain their lifestyle while adapting to the new physical hurdles of living with ALS.
- “YOLO Excursions,” which affords pALS the opportunity to check items off their bucket list.
The YOLO Foundation strives to encourage community awareness concerning issues impacting individuals facing ALS.
Our Mission
Our Mission is to help people living with ALS and their families deal with every day situations that have become more difficult. Through wheelchair donations, shower chair donations, wig donations, pet care (dog walkers, feeding pets, etc.), and whatever way we can make life more manageable.
Providing Daily Help
Providing things that are often overlooked. We have donated wigs, permanent make-up, dog walkers so they can keep their furry loved ones, and anything needed to make life easier for people living with ALS.
Handicap Care
Your donation will go to helping secure wheel chairs, shower chairs, commodes, and any other helpful tools to make living with ALS more dignified.
Medical Facilities
We can get you in touch with facilities that help with round the clock care, physical & occupational therapies, support groups, speech therapists, and any other assistance needed.
