Meet Vanessa

Hi, my name is Vanessa Jensen and I work as a MSC support specialist in Broomfield, CO.

One evening, shortly after my mother passed, a tragic accident occurred that drastically changed the rest of my life.  A patron fell back on me at an establishment, breaking my foot and ankle in several places and requiring immediate surgery.  Due to the severity of the injury, surgery required a large plate, 10 screws, 5 washers and 2 donor tendons in order to be able to walk again.  Due to challenges with our health care coverage, my family and I were burdened with a six-figure medical bill.  At this point, my husband and I, and our one year-old daughter, were barely making our monthly bills.  This added expense would have financially broken our family. Given that I was unable to work, my manager completed a co-worker referral for EpicPromise’s Emergency Relief grant, and a case manager followed up right away.  Receiving this grant enabled my family to focus on healing and being together when a situation like this would have seriously impacted our lives.  We are beyond grateful to be a recipient of the Epic Promise Employee Foundation grant.

If you find yourself going through hardship due to an emergency situation, help is available through Epic Promise! I could not have done it without their help.

Meet Georgia

My name is Georgia and I am the Wellness Navigator Supervisor at Whistler Blackcomb. In November of 2020 my dad went into hospital with what he thought was a bad back and was subsequently diagnosed with Stage 4 renal cancer. The next few months were a whirlwind of surgeries and treatments all in the height of COVID. I had been waiting for travel restrictions to ease but with restriction dates continuously getting pushed back I decided that it wasn’t worth waiting any longer.

Travelling back to the UK involved tests before and after both flights, quarantine in London, and a very pricey hotel stay on my return to Vancouver. All in all the trip totaled over $5,000.

I have been lucky enough to work closely with the EpicPromise Foundation in my roles here at WB so I already knew of the amazing things they do for us as employees. I submitted my Emergency Relief Application through the EpicPromise website. A few weeks later I was grateful and relieved to learn that I had been approved for the grant. Receiving the grant was a huge weight off my shoulders financially and I am so grateful to the EpicPromise Foundation for doing what they do.

If you are struggling with an emergency situation and need support, I would strongly encourage you to reach out as this is an amazing resource.
