Project Updates
The Women’s Aid Fund
February 5, 2019

By: Dawn Malcolm

The Women’s Aid Fund was established when one of the women we were working with needed a prosthetic arm.  There was no way she could afford this and we saw that this would make a huge difference in her quality of life.  Medical and special needs hinder the quality of life of many women, but are often never taken care of because the solution is not affordable.  Funds will be held in an account specified for assisting these needs.  If you would like to be part of this effort or contribute to this fund, please contact us!

Update: Lighting the Path collected donations and purchased a much needed prosthetic arm for Elizabeth!  Thank you to all who contributed! You changed her life!
