Are you someone who believes in the power of connection and kindness? Do you enjoy meaningful conversations, music, sports, or simply being present for someone who needs a friend? Were looking for compassionate volunteers to brighten the mornings of a very pleasant man living with ALS.
About Him:
A/Ox4 is a gentle soul who enjoys watching TV, listening to rock 'n' roll from the 60s and 70s, chatting with his housemates, and reminiscing about motorcycles and sports.

Your presence could make a world of difference.
