At Bridging Voice, we believe communication is a human right—not a luxury. We provide free, remote, personalized support so people living with ALS can stay connected and heard.

Thank you to everyone who made this impact possible in 2025 💙

On #VeteransDay, we honor all who served and recognize that vets are 2–10x more likely to develop ALS.

We’re inspired by Lt Col Thomas Brittingham, a U.S. Air Force vet & Bridging Voice client, who regained his voice with AI from @elevenlabsio 💙
