"I believe that no matter what I did in life, I could never have prepared enough for what I am dealing with now. I am so thankful to the FCIF for the difference they have made in my life and that of my family. Life can be good--even with Muscular Dystrophy!"
"The foundation has given us a peace of mind that we would never have been able to attain by ourselves. It allows us not to worry so much about financial difficulty due to medical expenses, as well as expenses incurred from having a child in a hospital for any period of time. I don't know what we'd be doing without their assistance."
"The foundation's help made all the difference in helping me get back on my feet. If it wasn't for the Foundation, I would be in debt for more years than I care to think about. Now I'm all caught up with my bills and back on my feet."
"I honestly don't know what my family and I would have done if the Floor Covering Industry Foundation was not there to help; we would have lost our house for sure. They gave us shelter and food and paid the hospital bills. They helped with everything!"
Donate to Help Fund FCIF
The Foundation depends on contributions from industry manufacturers, distributors, retailers, industry trade associations, and individuals. Therefore, the amount of assistance that can be provided, as well as the number of beneficiaries who can be helped, is determined by the availability of funds. Donations help the FCIF provide the assistance industry individuals need to cope with life-altering hardships.
