A 45-year-old man with ALS would love a volunteer to help him around the house with things like dishes and folding laundry. He speaks Spanish, so would ideally love a Spanish-speaking volunteer that he can converse with! He is open to volunteer visits any day of the week, in the morning or afternoon for approximately 1-2 hours at a time.
