Change for a Dollar received a
request from an ARC owner and her daughter "M" to help a woman suffering
from breast cancer. "M" works with
this woman who is a single mom and also has another son who is very ill and requires
surgery in the near future. She works
part time and gets very little financial support for her son. She also has no health insurance but
thankfully is in a program at MUSC that is providing treatment for the
cancer. She also must pay for prescriptions
out of pocket that are about $400 per month.
The woman remains very upbeat in spite of her circumstances and the
Change for a Dollar team is working to help her and her son in other ways. When asked what her biggest need was at the
moment she asked for help with groceries as she indicated she is not eligible
for an EBT card. Change for a dollar
gave her $100 in Bi Lo gift cards and is exploring the possibility of helping
with the prescriptions. She was very appreciative of the gifts.
Amount $100 +
