When care becomes family
For Paul’s family it has been a long journey of anxiety. DAR Bjorn gave them security, but places are limited and the services need to keep growing.

▶ Watch story05 · STEVEN
When a computer becomes a voice
Steven has ALS and cannot speak with his own voice. He communicates through a computer — proof that when someone cannot speak, it does not mean they have nothing to say.

“Sibt ġenna.”
After a stroke, Vince was afraid of what he would find at DAR Bjorn. When he arrived, he found people, care and an environment that gave him back a sense of life and security.
Donate →Why your donation matters
Respite care is care for the whole family.
ALS Malta says DAR Bjorn Respite will extend DAR Bjorn Żebbuġ, giving patients care and help for a defined number of days. Your donation helps turn that plan into a real place families can rely on.
A bed for a few days can mean strength for months.
For someone living with ALS, MS, Huntington’s or another neurological condition, specialised support cannot simply stop. Respite gives the person continuity of care and gives relatives a safe window to recover, attend to family life, or simply sleep knowing their loved one is cared for.

About the mission
Started with Bjorn. Built by Malta.
ALS Malta was founded in 2015 by Bjorn Formosa after his ALS diagnosis. Its mission is to facilitate life for people living with neurological conditions through support, specialised care, equipment and services.
“Kull donazzjoni, żgħira jew kbira, tagħmel differenza reali.”
That is the reason for Tinsinix: not simply to raise a total on television, but to keep care, dignity and support available to people and families who need them.
About Bjorn, ALS Malta & RespiteDon’t just remember. Help.
Every donation helps DAR Bjorn continue its mission.
