Item 1.        Security and Issuer.

               This Statement on Schedule 13D (the "Amendment"), filed with
respect to events that occurred on July 1, 1997, relates to shares of Common
Stock, par value $0.02 per share, of Help at Home, Inc., a Delaware corporation
(the "Common Stock" and the "Issuer", respectively), whose principal executive
offices are located at 223 W. Jackson, Suite 500, Chicago, Illinois 60606.

Item 2.        Identity and Background.

               This Statement is filed by Herbard Limited, a British Virgin
Islands corporation ("Herbard").

               Herbard may be deemed to be controlled by the Phyllis Quasha
Revocable Trust. Phyllis G. Quasha, as the settlor of the Trust, may be deemed
to control the Trust. Based upon the foregoing considerations, for purposes of
General Instruction C to Schedule 13D, the Phyllis Quasha Revocable Trust and
Phyllis G. Quasha (collectively, the "Instruction C Persons") may be deemed to
control Herbard.

               Exhibit A sets forth the name, place of organization, principal
business, address of principal business and address of principal office of
Herbard and each Instruction C Person.

               The name, citizenship, business address and present principal

each of the Instruction C Persons, as well as the name, principal business and
address of the corporation or other organization in which such occupation or
employment is conducted, are set forth in Exhibit B.

               During the five years prior to the date hereof, neither Herbard
nor, to the best of their knowledge, any of the Instruction C Persons or any
executive officer or director of Herbard or any of the Instruction C Persons,
(i) has been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or
similar misdemeanors) or (ii) has been a party to a civil proceeding of a
judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction, as a result of which
such person was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining
future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal
or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

Item 3.        Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

               The funds for purchase by Herbard of the 50,000 shares of Common
Stock purchased on July 1, 1997, an aggregate of $187,500.00, came from the
general corporate funds of Herbard.


Item 4.        Purpose of the Transaction.

        On July 1, 1997, Herbard purchased 50,000 shares of Common Stock in
transactions in the over-the-counter market at a price of $3.75 per share or an
aggregate of $187,500.

               (a)&(b) As of May 2, 1997, the Issuer had a total of 1,869,375
shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding as disclosed in the Issuer's Form
10-QSB for the quarterly period ending March 31, 1997.

               Pursuant to Rule 13d-3, Herbard may be deemed to beneficially own
an aggregate of 217,000 shares of Common Stock, including 167,000 shares
issuable on conversion, exercise or exchange of other securities as contemplated
by Rule 13d-3(d)(1)(i). Pursuant to Rule 13d-3(d)(1)(i), such 217,000 shares of
Common Stock constitute an aggregate of approximately 10.7% of the outstanding
Common Stock.

               (c) Other than the transactions described in this Statement and
those described in the Statement on Schedule 13D filed by Herbard on July 7,
1997 with regard to the Warrants to purchase Common Stock of the Issuer, no
transactions in the shares of Common Stock have been effected during the past 60
days by Herbard, or, to the best of their knowledge, the Instruction C Persons
or any of the persons named in Exhibit B.

               (d)  Inapplicable.

Item 6.        Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or
               Relationships with respect to Securities
               of the Issuer.

               Neither Herbard nor, to the best of its knowledge, any executive
officer or director thereof, has any contract, arrangement, understanding or
relationship with one or more security holders of the Issuer or others, with
respect to the purchase, holding, voting or disposition of shares of Common
Stock or other securities of the Issuer which are convertible or exercisable
into such shares. Each of such persons reserves the right to enter into any such
contract, arrangement, understanding or relationship in the future.

does hereby make, constitute and appoint THOMAS A. HUSER as true and lawful
attorney-in-fact of the Corporation, to act in the name, place and stead of the

         To negotiate, execute and deliver any and all agreements, documents,

kind, with regard, directly or indirectly, to any filings, notices,
authorizations or actions required or advisable to be made with, given to,
obtained from or otherwise to comply with the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission, any state or any other governmental office
or body, in connection with the record of beneficial ownership or other interest
by the Corporation of, or any transactions relating in any way to, any
securities of HELP AT HOME, INC., including, without limitation, (1) any
statements on Schedule 13D and any amendments thereto, (2) any joint filing
agreements pursuant to Rule 13d-1 (f) promulgated under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended, and any amendments thereto, (3) any initial statements
of beneficial ownership on Form 3, and (4) any statements of change in

        Giving and granting unto said attorney-in-fact full power and authority
to do and perform any and every act and whatsoever requisite, necessary, or in
the opinion of said attorney-in-fact, desirable to be done in connection with
the foregoing, as fully and to intents and purposes as the undersigned might or
could do if personally present, by its officers, hereby ratifying and confirming
all acts that said attorney-in-fact shall do or cause to be done by virtue
hereof.

        The Corporation hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless said
attorney-in-fact for any claims, liabilities, costs or expenses, including
reasonable attorney's fees, incurred by said attorney-in-fact arising out of, or
in any way connected with, performance by said attorney-in-fact of any and all
