At Morrison & Hughes, we have the privilege of working with people who inspire us with their strength and resilience. One of those remarkable people is Deanna “DeDe” Ross.
DeDe came to us seeking help with a workers’ compensation claim, but as her case progressed, she was faced with an unexpected and life-altering diagnosis: ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis), also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease.
DeDe’s Journey with ALS
DeDe is not only a beloved client but also a wonderful person, deeply committed to her family and friends. The impact of her diagnosis has been profound — not only for her, but for everyone who holds her dear.
What Is ALS?
ALS is a devastating disease that affects muscle control, gradually taking away a person’s ability to move, speak, eat, and even breathe. While there is currently no cure, treatments and support can help ease the challenges of the condition.
Our Commitment to DeDe
Moved by DeDe’s story and her unyielding positivity, we at Morrison & Hughes made the decision to waive all fees and expenses in her case. It’s a small gesture — a testament to DeDe’s impact on our team and to our belief in standing by our clients, especially in their time of greatest need.
Supporting DeDe and Her Family
In our continued commitment, we’re sharing DeDe’s story here to offer a way for the community to help. We invite you to join us in supporting DeDe and her family by donating to her fund through GiveSendGo. Every contribution goes directly to her family to help with the ongoing care, medical needs, and everyday challenges that ALS brings.
DeDe’s courage and grace in the face of such immense adversity have touched all of us, and we’re honored to share her story. Together, we can help her family manage the challenges that ALS brings — and make sure they never feel alone on this journey.
