Ella Mae's story is inspiring and tear-jerking and encompasses why the TriUnity Foundation was created. Ella Mae, one of our grant recipients, was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in 2023, and since then, cancer has taken a devastating toll not only on her health, but also her finances. "I can breathe. I can buy toilet paper. I can buy personal hygiene items that I couldn't afford. Toothpaste, mouthwash, the necessities, the basics, being able to buy something I want to eat and not feel guilty. We take so much for granted in life, and when you're put in a position where you're in a desperate situation where you're trying to live and not die, and somebody comes into your life and hands you a check... it's unbelievable." - Ella Mae Read more about Ella Mae's story and how the Foundation has helped create hope again: https://lnkd.in/gZGFxqz6
