Since 2008, A Giving Spirit Foundation has awarded over $50,000
in grants to mothers in the greater Charlotte, NC area suffering from a
debilitating disease. These grants have provided shelter to the
families by paying months of rent or mortgage, allowed the lights to stay on,
made homes handicapped accessible and purchased medical equipment.
Here are just a few of
those stories:
Ms. Y. was diagnosed with breast cancer and had a double mastectomy and a hysterectomy. A single mother of
4 children, Ms. Y was physically unable to work for 8 weeks during her
treatment and fell behind in her rent and utility payments. AGSF paid her
rent and utilities until she was able to return to work.
Mrs. J is 42
to years old and the mother of 6 (ages 2 - 16). She was diagnosed with Hodgkin
Lymphoma and her 16 yr old daughter has also recently been diagnosed with
cancer. AGSF responded to her grant request and have provided two months of
mortgage assistance.
Mrs.
W was diagnosed with ALS and needed a new bed with automatic back and leg
recline features that will help with swallowing and breathing while she's in
bed. AGSF responded to her grant request and paid for the new bed system.
Mrs.
U was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2009 and lung cancer in 2012. Her husband
is unable to work due to the time commitment to support and care for his wife
and daughter. AGSF responded to their grant request and provided 2 months of
rent assistance.
