Real Stories. Real Families. Real Impact.

Behind every number is a family navigating life with MS. These are just a few of the stories that show how ongoing support can truly make a difference.

Seven years ago, my life changed overnight when I was hospitalized and diagnosed with MS. Through MS Moments, I found guidance, support, and a community when I felt lost. Their grants for massage, acupuncture, a gym membership, and housekeeping have supported me at every stage of my journey. Most of all, MS Moments has been there consistently—with care, education, and encouragement. I’m incredibly grateful for everything they do for families living with MS in Iowa.

The Winn Family

MS Moments makes the weight of MS feel a little lighter. The love and support from everyone involved truly feels like an extended family, and we are so grateful for all that this non-profit o ers for Iowans living with MS and their care partners.

The Isaacson Family

MS Moments provides monthly massages that help me relax and loosen my body, which makes a real difference in how I feel day to day. This support is incredibly beneficial, and it’s something I wouldn’t be able to afford on my own. I truly appreciate that MS Moments focuses on supporting the person living with MS.

Angie C.

MS Moments provides more than a service — they improve quality of life. They thoughtfully partner with businesses that genuinely care about people living with MS. My massage therapist has made my invisible struggles seen. She hasn’t just cared for my body; she’s helped me release the sorrow my body has carried because of MS. What may seem simple can be life-changing — helping me move, function, and feel hopeful about being myself again.

Erika

I’m incredibly grateful for MS Moments and the support they’ve provided me. Their grants have truly been a lifesaver — especially the house-cleaning services, which I’m no longer able to manage on my own. MS Moments makes a real difference in everyday life. Their fundraisers are always a joy to attend, and I deeply admire Karrie’s dedication to supporting those of us living with MS.
