A 65-year-old man with ALS and his wife would love a volunteer to help them with cleaning, household chores, and/or yard work. Their schedule is very flexible: any day of the week would work for a volunteer to visit in the morning or afternoon. They would ideally like a volunteer who is able to visit weekly for 1-2 hours. For those with pet allergies, they do have a dog and cat.

If you have an extra hour or two each week to help a neighbor in need, we'd love to hear from you! This opportunity is part of the ALS Association's Family Assistance Program:
