Programs
Paid rent for local man. Individual is a longtime volunteer and contributor to the local Fire Department and First Aid Squad. Not unlike other ailments, Brian's weight presented a challenging health and work obstacle. He faced this challenge head on, and despite some other medical setbacks requiring hospitalization he was finally able to have a life-changing gastric sleeve surgical procedure in June 2023. LGEF assisted Brian with rent during this time of recovery so he could focus on long-term mental and physical health.
$19 spentof which $17,119 as grants45% of program spendingPaid rent for local family. Their daughter was diagnosed a month after she was born with congenital myotonic dystrophy a neuromuscular condition. As a result she has severe muscle weakness. Because of her condition she requires out patient physical therapy, speech therapy, and occupational therapy at a great cost to the family. She had surgery a year ago to correct her clubbed feet to give her the ability to walk. She is walking with the assistance of a posterior walker but needs these therapies so that she does not lose what she has gained. The family simply did not have the money to pay for the therapies that my daughter so desperately needs. The father works three jobs to support the family, but it still isn't enough to cover all of the monthly expenses. By paying their rent, they were able to continue to pay for the therapies for their daughter.
$0 spentof which $5,664 as grants0% of program spendingPaid for handicap ramp rental and van rental for local man injured at work. Individual suffered electrocution and fall while at work and had to undergo several surgeries. During recovery, he needed a temporary ramp installed outside his house in order to get back and forth to doctor's appointments and therapies. We also assisted with renting a van so he could attend these appointments.
$0 spentof which $3,219 as grants0% of program spendingin 2023 we assisted 13 families, affecting approximately 25 individuals. The circumstances of each family and/or individual varied. As was the case in 2022, the biggest form of help needed again this year was with housing. We helped pay rent for 5 families totaling 21 months. We also helped a single mother with a car payment when she was out of work and looking for a new job. While she was looking for a full-time position, she held down 3 temporary jobs and needed to keep her transportation order to get to these positions. For a young woman who is trying to attend and graduate cosmetology school, we provided a monthly bus pass, enabling her to attend class. We also assisted a family of 11 with a memorial meal who lost their mother from sudden heart failure at age 44.
