“F'DAR Bjorn ħadt l-indipendenza tiegħi lura.”
For Mark, DAR Bjorn meant regaining independence. His story shows what specialised support, the right environment and dignity can give back to a person.

You, Tinsinix.
Tinsiex lil dawk li għandhom bżonnok. This year we are raising funds for DAR Bjorn Respite — a place where people with neurological conditions can receive specialised care for short stays, while their families get something just as important: time to rest and breathe.
Enter your name. This campaign is about people — including you.
Bjorn started the mission. Malta keeps it going.

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.
