A 76-year-old woman with ALS and her husband would like a volunteer to help them around the house with various chores, organizing, gardening, and/or yard work. They would ideally like a volunteer who is able to visit every other week for 1-2 hours at a time. Monday, Tuesday, Friday, or Saturday afternoons would work best with their schedule.

If you're interested in any of the above tasks, we'd love to hear from you! This opportunity is part of the ALS Association's Family Assistance Program:
