Maya and Maceo Carter, who have lived with ALS for eight years, focus on what they can still do rather than what they have lost. After Maceo's diagnosis, they moved from North Carolina to Arizona for better care. Despite his condition, Maceo works full-time in customer service using voice recognition software. He also participates in activities like horseback riding and advocacy for wheelchair rights, highlighting the support he receives from Maya, his caregiver. Maya views caregiving as a personal commitment rather than a job. They credit ALS Arizona for providing resources and support, allowing them to live positively with the disease.
