A 67-year-old man with ALS and his wife would love volunteer assistance with a variety of things around their home: cleaning, household chores, laundry, meal prep, and/or yard work. The best days for a volunteer to visit would be Monday-Friday, but exact hours can be flexible. They are dog owners and would ideally like a volunteer who is able to visit weekly.

If you're looking for an opportunity to help out a neighbor in need, we'd love to hear from you! This opportunity is part of the ALS Association's Family Assistance Program:
