Oralia has been battling stage 4 invasive duct cancer of her breast which has spread to her bones. She’s a fighter though. To help provide for her family, she is still working on the plant floor when she is not traveling out of town for her chemotherapy treatments and taking time off to get her strength back. She has worked for 19 years in the floor coving industry in Dalton, GA, most recently as a Creeler. Even with health insurance, she still has large medical bills since some of her treatments are out of network.
She is very thankful that industry leaders organized the Floor Covering Industry Foundation, which provided a grant that is bridging her financial gap. The Foundation helped cover the cost of her medical care, prescriptions, transportation, and housing. Oralia shared, “It has helped me to pay off my medical bills and chemotherapy. Thank you!”
