We, as the extended family, would like to thank everyone for your continued support. Amber and the kids need all the love and support we can give at this time.

David Tringali was diagnosed with Amotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) aka Lou Gherig Disease, on September 29, 2015 shortly after his 31st birthday. ALS is fatal and on average after diagnosis there is a 2-5 year life expectancy. ALS is a serious illness that needs more awareness. He has been married to his wife Amber for 10 years and has 3 small children; Zoe age 7, Kalista age 5, and David Junior age 2 whom all love their father dearly. (And why we are calling him ALS daddy) Previously he worked as an Office Manager at the law firm, Bradford and Barthel for nearly 10 years. David has since retired due to being terminally ill and has lost a significant portion of his income. His wife Amber continues to work and provide for basic bills and their children's activities. However they do not have the resources to provide for extra medical costs such as making their home handicap accessible, specialized motorized wheelchairs with lifts above the bed and on the car, and there is more to come. The average ALS patient spends 300,000 a year in medical costs. Any donation is a blessing and prayers are always appreciated.
