A Son Struck by a Car
The year 2015 did not start out well for Imelda and her family. In early March, her 25-year-old son was struck by a car, and his injuries continue to prevent him from working. He lives at home and is dependent on his parents. Then, in July, the next bombshell dropped…
Stage III Cancer Diagnosis
In July of 2015, Imelda received a dreaded medical diagnosis. She had stage III breast cancer! In September of that year, she underwent a lumpectomy and is now in the middle of a ten-month combined chemotherapy and radiation treatment cycle. This exhausting regiment has left Imelda unable to continue her job search, forcing her entire family to rely on her husband’s income. Unfortunately, her husband also suffers from a debilitating illness…
Rent Relief for One More Month
Imelda’s husband is currently on medical leave from his military job due to severe depression. His disability income is the only money his family has to live on, and it is not nearly enough. His entire disability payment doesn’t even cover the family’s monthly rent.
Imelda wrote to us requesting a grant to help pay her rent. Her family has experienced a run of very serious medical misfortunes, and we wanted to help turn her luck around. Our generous donors made it possible to help Imelda and her family stay in their home for another month. It is our hope that everyone in Imelda’s family is able to regain their physical, mental, and spiritual health.
