I Will Survive, Inc. has been paying for temporary housing while helping Wylma get to treatment and find another place to live. Vital support came from community partner I Care Atlanta and Vince Hungate’s ministry work.
Great news! She has finished all her treatments and won an all-inclusive trip for her and her children to the beach for a week. She is also no longer homeless and began a new job where she can work from home. We recently raised over $1000 to help her move into her new place and get the lights on just two weeks ago. She now needs your support as she continues with her therapist and getting things in her new place. She will need Marta cards for her children to get to and from school, as they do not have a vehicle. She also needs an arm sleeve, which her insurance does not cover, due to lymphedema, a side affect of treatments.
