Rescued and Restored

“CS” came to the Social Service Center in June.  She was undergoing chemotherapy treatments at St. Vincent’s Hospital when her husband abandoned her in the parking lot after putting her belongings on her daughters’ lawn.  Knowing that CS had no where to go her social worker from St. Vincent’s called the Salvation Army.

While staying at the Center, CS finished up her chemotherapy treatments and started her radiation.  She is now finally cancer free!  She is pursuing a divorce from her husband, who has been mentally and financially abusive for years.  She now has a job, a car, and her own place to live. 

CS is still receiving support through our Continuing Support Program and plans to begin volunteering as an advocate for women with cancer.
