Overnight, James accumulated $13,000 in medical bills, even with a discount from the hospital. At age 48, James, a single father of two teenage girls, had a severe heart attack that left him in the hospital for days and scrambling to make ends meet.
James is a veteran of the flooring industry, where he has dedicated 26 years of service. He was thankful that the owner of the company he worked for told him about the Floor Covering Industry Foundation. He received a medical grant that helped him over this unexpected obstacle.
“The grant has truly taken the burden off my financial situation. I can afford to get health insurance and pay off medical bills. I am so grateful.” Now he is back doing the work he loves and providing for his daughters.
