A 52 year old gentleman is living with ALS. He and his wife are looking for someone to visit once a week for 2-3 hours ideally in the evenings or on the weekend. This man served in the Air Force, was a special education teacher, and is a great conversationalist. While the volunteer is visiting with him, his wife will get a break from being his full-time caregiver and can return refreshed and revived.
