Help Around the House for a Couple Affected by ALS
ORGANIZATION: The ALS Association: MN/ND/SD
Please visit the new page to apply.
A 62 year old woman living with ALS and her husband are looking for help around their home. They would like someone to help every week for 2.5 hours with cleaning (vacuuming and dusting), organizing (moving things to one floor of the house; the woman can no longer use stairs), laundry, and cooking. This help will greatly decrease their stress and increase the quality of their lives.
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].
