A 74-year-old man with ALS and his wife would love a volunteer to help them once a month with cleaning, household chores, or errands. Monday, Tuesday, or Friday afternoons would work best with their schedule for approximately an hour at a time. They do have a dog in their home.
If you have an extra hour each month to help some neighbors in need, we'd love to hear from you! This opportunity is part of the ALS Association's Family Assistance Program:
