For Nate Manuel, the ALS diagnosis was life-changing. The ALS advocacy group Every90Minutes has called it “the bankruptcy disease” because of the expenses that pile up for someone diagnosed with it.

For Manuel, the diagnosis was life-changing. Manuel had worked as a basketball coach at East and West high schools, as well as University of Utah summer camps. He has also worked at the Boys and Girls Clubs in Rose Park and Glendale, and as a youth coordinator at the Urban Indian Center. Manuel is a champion of the west side. He lives in Poplar Grove, and used to live in Rose Park. The west side, he said, is burdened with other people’s misconceptions.
“For me to be around youth and have an influence and have a place to educate, I definitely want to change those images,” Manuel said. That’s why he does this work. The programs at Neighborhood House use fun and creative tasks that will help kids gain life skills that will help them and their families. Shaw said Manuel is kindhearted, humble and patient with the kids. She’s even had parents request to make sure their kids work with him.
