A 65 year old woman who lives alone in Duluth is looking for a volunteer to help her out around her home. Because of her ALS, she is no longer able to do the things she used to be able to. If you have 2 - 3 hours per week and can assist with light cleaning, doing her laundry, changing her sheets, and cooking meals she can later heat up in the microwave, we want to hear from you. Please note, the woman has requested a nonsmoking volunteer.
