A 68 year old woman living with ALS is looking for someone to visit her every week for conversation and to help with her iPhone or writing letters so she can stay in contact with family and friends that don’t live in town. This woman is also hoping someone will run the occasional errand for her should she need something; she doesn’t drive any longer.
If you have two hours a week, we would love to hear from you. 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].
