“The Floor Covering Industry Foundation saved my life, literally,” shared Sandra who had worked for eight years for a flooring manufacturer, when she became ill.
Her jobs included working as a spinner, winder, and doffer creeler. She has always enjoyed working and helping others.
When she was diagnosed with liver cancer in October of 2020, she had to stop working to undergo treatment. At this time, she did not know how she would pay her bills and thought she would lose her home and her two cats that she adores.
Sandra stated, “I was on the verge of suicide when FCIF reached out to me regarding the grant.”
The Foundation was able to assist Sandra by providing funds to help with medical care and household expenses, such as rent and utility payments.
Sandra also said, “The grant funding relieved a huge amount of stress, and it brought me to life again. Thank you so very much FCIF for helping me live.”
