Meet Pamela Jane and Steve. Pamela Jane Love, a 30-year veteran of the floor covering industry, was diagnosed with stage 4 brain cancer in May 2017. Since then, her life has changed dras�cally. She and her husband, Steve, now have mounds of medical bills. Soon a�er she was diagnosed with brain cancer, Steve broke his leg and they struggled even more. With both out of work, life has been difficult. Steve shared, “Everyone kept telling me I should get help, but I thought we could handle it on our own. A�er spending all our savings on medical bills, we were drained. Luckily, we were connected to the Floor Covering Industry Founda�on and were awarded a grant to help with medical care and housing expenses. I couldn’t believe something like that existed, and we are extremely grateful for it.”
