Faith's Hope Foundation donates $6,500 to help one of CAGNO's families
Less than a year before Judy and Vimal Dave's Lakeview home was destroyed by Katrina, Judy was diagnosed with Stage 4 breast cancer. With mounting medical expenses, prolonged treatments and lost jobs, Judy and Vimal’s resources quickly ran out. In view of the Daves’ hardships, Southern California-based Faith’s Hope Foundation will donate a check for $6,500 to the Cancer Association of Greater New Orleans (CAGNO) for Judy and Vimal Dave.
Founded in 2000 in Fullerton, California (Orange County), the mission of Faith's Hope Foundation is to assist families facing homelessness and unemployment due to a loved one's long-term hospitalization or illness. Since their inception, Faith’s Hope Foundation has worked with over 100 families, paying rent, mortgages, car payments and utilities for the struggling families. Faith’s Hope Foundation also provides assistance in locating employment and some counseling, as well as links to local churches to provide families with additional emotional support.
