Are you a friendly person who likes to get to know new people? A 74-year-old man with ALS in Minneapolis would like a volunteer to come visit with him so that his caregiver can go out and run errands. They are very flexible on days/times and would ideally like someone to visit weekly for 2-3 hours.
Many of our family assistance opportunities have a chore component, so this is a fun opportunity to focus on just hanging out and being social! If you're interested, we'd love to hear from you.
This opportunity is part of the ALS Association's Family Assistance Program:
