Apple Savvy Volunteer Wanted to Help a Couple with ALS
ORGANIZATION: The ALS Association: MN/ND/SD
Please visit the new page to apply.
A 60 year old woman living with ALS and her husband are looking for help with their technology. Between the two of them they have two iPhones, one iPad Pro, one iMac, and one MacBook Pro. They’re self admittedly not the best with technology and hope someone can connect their devices to the cloud, help them figure out how to store and organize their photos, and help the woman learn how to use the watercolor apps she has.
Because this request has a lot of facets, the volunteer and the couple can figure out what makes sense and works for their schedules as far as frequency and length of the visits.
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].
