Review for Book Industry Charitable Foundation, Ann Arbor, MI, USA
Right before Christmas 2013, I found out I needed urgent back surgery that would require me to be out of work for 6 weeks. At age 36, I had no disability insurance, and was new to my job, so I had limited vacation and sick days available. I am the single mother of 4 kids, and am their sole provider. As a former long-time Borders employee, I reached out to BINC for help. They not only helped me cover basic costs to keep my family with a roof over their head and keep my heat on in Minnesota's biggest deep freeze in 20 years, they did it quickly and with a smile. I worked with Kit, and she was an absolute lifesaver. My family cannot thank BINC enough for their help, as we would be in a terrible position at this point without them. I was able to concentrate on my healing and allow my kids to experience Christmas without their mother worrying about those necessities. I appreciate BINC being there for me in my family's time of need.
