1 person is interested
A 66-year-old man with ALS and his wife are seeking one or more volunteers for two different tasks:
- One-time garage cleanup/organization (they think this would take 3-4 hours, which could be done in 1 visit or broken into multiple)
- Weekly yard work for about 2 hours each time
We invite you to reach out if you are interested in either opportunity, or the same volunteer could do both things if their schedule allows. This opportunity is part of the ALS Association's Family Assistance Program:

What is ALS?

There is no known cause or cure for ALS. People with ALS typically live between two and five years after being diagnosed.
