Financial Help Is Available



Are you in need of financial assistance due to the high costs when suffering from a debilitating disease?  A Giving Spirit Foundation may be able to help you.  If you are a mother in the Davidson/Charlotte, NC community experiencing financial difficulties due to your debilitating disease, you may qualify to receive a financial grant from A Giving Spirit Foundation.

Nancy Brown of Davidson, NC received a grant earlier this year to help her family of six in the midst of financial issues brought on by three devastating diagnoses .  In 1998 her daughter was born with spinabifida.  Her husband was diagnosed with a brain tumor in 2004.  Several years later, Nancy was diagnosed with breast cancer.    

“We've always managed to keep up with, if not ahead of, our medical issues until this last event,” Nancy explains. “A Giving Spirit Foundation reached out to us at a time that couldn't have been more perfect.  We were hard pressed to make the mortgage after a few months and didn't know where to turn for help.  That gift relieved the stress we were under and gave us breathing room to figure out the finances, to locate help. It may not have seemed like much, but when your choices are deciding whether to move or how to afford to feed a family of 6 on $100 a month, it was priceless.”

Nancy’s story exemplifies why AGSF works hard to raise funds and provide grants to families in their time of need.
