This family of four consists of a man living with ALS, his wife, and their two young children. The wife works full time and takes care of both her husband and their children.
A volunteer who could help them out for a few hours every week or every other week would be a blessing. They could use help with cleaning or spending time playing catch with their seven year old son in the yard; they will make sure you help with what interests you.
Their two previous volunteers, both of whom moved out of state, loved visiting this family. If you would like to give back and want a fulfilling opportunity where you will be greatly appreciated, please get in touch.
This opportunity is part of our family assistance program. Find out why this program rocks and how you can be a part of it by visiting our website [tinyurl.com/ALS-FAP].
