A 56-year-old woman with ALS would like a volunteer to assist her around the house with cleaning, organizing, and various chores. Her schedule is quite flexible: any day of the week will work at any time of day. She is ideally looking for someone to visit once a month for 1-2 hours and does have a dog in her home.
If you have an extra hour or two each month to help a neighbor in need, we'd love to hear from you! This opportunity is part of the ALS Association's Family Assistance Program:
