I'm a male law student in his 20s with Muscular Dystrophy and wheelchair user and I'm looking for responsible and compassionate people to assist me with my activities of daily living both during the week and weekends. I'm looking for someone who can either stay Thursday night into Friday or who can stay Sunday night into Monday. I'm looking for someone to start as soon as possible.

During the day and evening, I'll need help with:
-Using the bathroom (hand held urinal)
-Basic meal prep
-Helping me get to class/accompany me places and get my computer/books

For the night routine, I'll need help with:
-Transferring into bed
-Assist with bathroom (hand held urinal)
