"After Mary's* first introduction to the computer, she tearfully looked at me and said that his had opened a whole new world for her. Today, Mary is a whiz on the computer and it is her main means of communications, shopping, reading news, etc.. Mary uses the mouse and a small bit of on-screen keyboard work. She uses other's assistance to do typing for her."
-Cyndy A Vosburgh, Faith in Action Volunteer. Cyndy does home visits with Mary, an ALS patient, which include computer work (correspondence, appointment planning,etc.) She also coordinates a daily food program for Mary*.
*The care receiver's name has been changed.
