Confined at home because of the coronavirus pandemic, Marrene Wilson felt the need to get out and help someone.
“I live by myself and I had to be isolated at first,” said Wilson, an Alabama Power retiree for 14 years. “One of my friends nearby is about the only one I’ve socialized with. I was kind of listlessly wandering around, wondering what I’d do while by myself.”
