A 56 year old gentleman living with ALS is looking for someone to visit him every week or every other week for an hour or so. This man enjoys drinking coffee, discussing current events, chatting about cars, and watching sports on tv. Because of his ALS, he now mainly stays at home so someone stopping by while his wife is at work will be a real treat.
