Learn how to help a Fargo woman fighting an aggressive form of breast cancer and other ways to Lend A Hand Up

Update: An editing error combined two upcoming benefits in today's Lend A Hand column. Frueh is still undergoing treatment for a recent kidney transplant.

Arnetta Frueh , Buffalo, North Dakota, underwent her first kidney transplant in May of 2021 when her daughter proved a perfect match. But the transplant still failed, resulting in Frueh missing several holidays and milestones with her family as she received dialysis up until her second kidney transplant in December of 2022.
