Savanah came to Gospel Rescue Mission after a difficult season, navigating life as a caregiver and a single mother. For the past six months, she had been providing care to her son’s father, who was on the verge of losing his life due to severe lead poisoning from shrapnel left in his body. Savanah had been giving plasma to supplement her income and keep up with rent payments, but a sudden car accident prevented her from keeping up with appointments. Savanah lost her home.
